Accessing patient information remains a challenge in teleradiology settings, but researchers have found a way to incorporate this information in DICOM image files.
Foresight Imaging is previewing at the SIIM conference version 2.2 of its TIMS DICOM software, which helps facilities still using non-DICOM medical modalities to convert to DICOM. More »
The DICOM standard specifies that all DICOM objects have globally unique identifiers. The variety of methods in use makes it difficult, however, to generate unique identifiers that comply with DICOM constraints and still ensure global uniqueness. More »
Some developing countries, and others already developed, are turning to an open source teleradiology solution called DicomWorks, a tool originally released in 1998 as an alternative to $15,000 commercial DICOM viewers. More »
Researchers at the University of Utah have developed a vendor-neutral teaching file system that offers a means by which cases can automatically be plucked from PACS without requiring the usual modification of PACS configuration. More »
Teaching files are necessary in radiology education. But digital teaching file functionality has not been a high priority for PACS vendors, and currently no way exists to export DICOM images from PACS in desktop publishing format. More »
Industry leaders have updated the DICOM standard that governs the exchange of digital images and patient information among medical imaging devices. The revision pulls together the various additions and changes made over the last 12 months into a single integrated document, according to Howard Clark,... More »
