!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([DICOM]) is a [standard] [protocol] for storing and transmitting [Health Care|HealthCare] [images].
[{$pagename}] includes a [File System] format definition and a [network] communications [protocol]. The [communication] [protocol] is an application protocol that uses [TCP]/[IP] to communicate between systems. [{$pagename}] files can be exchanged between two entities that are capable of receiving image and [Patient Data] in DICOM format.
The [National Electrical Manufacturers Association] ([NEMA]) holds the [copyright] to this standard. [{$pagename}] was developed by the [DICOM] Standards Committee, whose members are also partly members of [NEMA].
[{$pagename}] enables the integration of medical imaging devices – like scanners, servers, workstations, printers, network hardware, and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) – from multiple manufacturers. The different devices come with [DICOM] Conformance Statements which clearly state which [DICOM] classes they support. [DICOM] has been widely adopted by hospitals and is making inroads in smaller applications like dentists' and doctors' offices.
[DICOM] is known as [NEMA] standard PS3, and as [ISO] standard [12052|ISO 12052]:2006 "Health informatics -- [{$pagename}] ([DICOM]) including workflow and data management".
