DICOM CD/DVD Systems

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a worldwide file standard for the exchange of medical reports, images and videos.DICOM standardizes both the format for storing the data and the communication protocol for exchanging them. The communication protocol is an application protocol that uses TCP / IP to communicate between the systems. DICOM files can be exchanged between two units via DICOM Send. Almost all manufacturers of imaging or image processing systems in medicine such as B. Digital X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or sonography implement the DICOM standard in their products. This enables interoperability between systems from different manufacturers in the clinical environment. DICOM is also the basis for digital image archiving in medical practices and hospitals (Picture Archiving and Communication System, PACS).
