DICOM STANDARD

DICOM® - Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine - is the international standard for medical images and related information. It defines the formats for medical images 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.), and increasingly in devices in other medical domains such as ophthalmology and dentistry. With hundreds of thousands of medical imaging devices in use, DICOM® is one of the most widely deployed healthcare messaging Standards in the world. There are literally billions of DICOM® images currently in use for clinical care... DICOM® is recognized by the International Organization for Standardization as the ISO 12052 standard.
