This is the first Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) book to introduce this complex imaging standard from a very practical point of view. It is aimed at a broad audience of radiologists, clinical administrators, information technologists, and digital medicine practitioners. It provides a gradual, down-to-earth introduction to DICOM and is accompanied by an analysis of the most common pitfalls and problems associated with its implementation. Whether you are running a teleradiology project or writing DICOM software, this book is for you; it will prepare you for any DICOM project or problem solving and will help you to take full advantage of this powerful tool.
The DICOM (Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) standard is the backbone of modern image display, equivalent only to film in the predigital era. Since the inception of this standard some 20 years ago, it has become the driving force behind the entire imaging workflow. DICOM truly controls all parts of digital image acquisition, transfer and interpretation, and many radiologists and other imaging specialists and users may not realize to what extent their work relies on DICOM capabilities. |
