Hospital-wide image and patient data transfer within heterogeneous hard- and software infrastructures can be facilitated by using standardized communication protocols and data formats such as digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOMM).
"We are entering an exciting new era where community, content and communications are coming together to transcend existing media formats," said Shields.
Images were stored in a digital imaging and communications in medicine format (DICOM) without compression.
F-FDG PET/CT data were transferred into the workstation in the digital imaging and communications in medicine format.
The scan results were delivered in a data imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format.
Since images generated by Ultra3D are in a digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format, data sharing with others is easy.
The three-dimensional image was reconstructed by iCATVision™ software (version 1.7.0.7, Imaging Sciences International) and saved in digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format.
Files were saved in digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format.
For stroke-volume calculation from 2D images, raw MRI images were first converted to digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format and read into ImageJ software.
These images were transmitted to a personal computer in the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format and reconstructed into multiplanar reconstruction images using a DICOM viewer (ExaVision SX version 1.13; Ziosoft Inc., Tokyo, Japan).
