Dicom is the English abbreviation of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, namely medical digital imaging and communication standards. In the DICOM standard, the composition format and exchange method of the image and its related information are detailed, and this standard can be used to establish an interface on the image device to complete the input / output of the image data. At present, the main suppliers of World Medical Imaging Equipment have announced support for DICOM standards. Regardless of the improvement of medical diagnosis levels, the DICOM standard has brought new opportunities for medical institutions in improving economic imaging and its information. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications IN Medicine Medical Digital Image Transport) standard provides technical implementation of interconnection and operation of different sources in different sources within a standard network framework. Since the standard does not make mandatory regulations on the specific implementation mechanism, the medical imaging equipment is allowed to flexibly use the corresponding Asian standard to complete the support of DICOM standards, so interconnection and interoperability between DICOM image devices in different sources. The extent need to be tested to determine its actual compatibility. DICOM Development The DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication In Medicine) is the joint committee formed by ACR (American College of Radiology) and NemA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), which has been developed in 1983. standard. Briefly, DICOM is a medical image and its related information. The purpose of this standard is: promoting the transfer and exchange of medical digital images that open and label. The development of image storage and transmission system PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) is bonded to the development of various hospital information systems HIS (Hospital Information Systems). Allowing the resulting clinics to access DICOM VERSION3.0 via different parts of devices. The original standard from ACR-MEMA is: Cr / Nema PS No. 300-1985, Version 1.0, published in 1985, is awarded in October 1986; Cr / Nema PS No. 300-1988, Version 2.0, is awarded in January 1988 to cover Version1.0. DICOM Development Current Situation In recent years, due to the development and efforts of ACR and NEMA in medical digital image transmission specifications, Dicom 3.0 has become the standard of North America, Europe and Japan in Health Care Informatics image. In addition to ANSI, ISO, these associations include European "Europen Committee for Standardization Technical Committee On Medical Informatics (Centc 251) and Japan" JAPAN INDUSTRIES OF Association for Radiation Apparatus (JIRA) ". In 1994, in Chicago, Chicago At the RSNA annual meeting, there were more than 40 manufacturers to participate in DICOM's results, they used DiCOM 3.0 standards, through the network and the various hospitals, the function of medical image transmission and processing, the subject included: Cr, CT, MR, USE types of medical imaging materials. DICOM standards The role of DICOM standards must be used to exchange images between imaging scanning devices, video storage devices, post-image processing workstations, etc., you must find a digital image and Information input, outputting image devices. Before there is no industrial standard, there must be a special interface on each image device. The radiographic image device comes from multiple manufacturers, and the data between them is not compatible. In order to realize the Internet, the hospital must develop or purchase the corresponding interface.
