Abstract:
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the international standard for medical images and related information (ISO 12052). It defines the formats for medical imaging that can be exchanged with the data and quality necessary for clinical use. DICOM is implemented in almost every radiology, cardiology imaging, and radiotherapy device (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, etc.), PET devices data transferring, and increasingly in devices in other medical domains such as ophthalmology and dentistry. During the procurement plan process of imaging equipment, not only the hardware technology needs to be planed, but also the invisible software part needs to be detail planed, the DICOM technology is always easily ignored or not decrypted inaccurately. This article is to elaborate the basic application of the DICOM standard and introduce the most common DICOM interfaces and their functions in equipment procurement. These interfaces include imaging equipment procurement such as CT, MR, US, PET.
