It is an
international standard used to store,
transmit, print and manage medical images
and related information.

ensures the
interoperability of medical imaging
equipment from different manufacturers,
allowing devices such as scanners, servers,
workstations, printers, and network hardware
to communicate and share imaging data in a
consistent format

2 main components of DICOM

contains more than just images
holds patients information such as name, ID, sex, and DOB
holds important acquisition data such as type of equipment used and settings on the modality

used to exchange information, mainly DICOM
images but also patient and procedure
information

used to search for
imaging studies in the archive and retrieve
imaging studies to the workstation in order to
display it.

DICOM devices use more than __
attributes to convey precise medical
data

DICOM supports
all ____ shades of gray.

DICOM converts real
world data into

basic dicom file movements

send data for storage

can check that there is sufficient space prior to the operation beginning,
and at the end that the data have actually been stored before the sending program discards
the data

search for something and return results

copy a composite object in
a new, following, association (that
composite object is usually a DICOM
image, but can be other rarer items).

also copies a composite
object, but without starting a new
association to do so.

similar to a ‘ping’, this checks the
low-level technical operation of the connection
and destination application

Health Level Seven (HL7) is founded in _ by _

comes from the seven levels of
the open systems interconnection (OSI) model.
Model 7 is the application level.

is a standard for the
exchange of data between healthcare information
systems.

to specify the formatting and
structure of information
