Digital DICOM in Dentistry
نویسنده
چکیده
Similar to Medicine, digital communication, information processing, and x-ray imaging have changed the face of dentistry. The incorporation of digital systems into medical and dental practice has necessitated development of a standard that allows reliable transmission of information between the devices taking the images, devices storing the images, and devices displaying the images. This standard is termed as DICOM. The following article briefly reviews how DICOM came about, how dentistry is involved, the various elements that are part of the DICOM system, and how DICOM is currently used in dentistry.

متن کاملBest Practices Strategy for Dealing with non-DICOM Data objects in a PACS-Neutral Archive
In this paper, I am presenting an argument for a best practices strategy for dealing with non-DICOM Medical Image Data Objects in a PACS Neutral-Archive (PNA). In this context, the data objects I am referring to are diagnostic image objects that are produced through a clinical study process. The key message of this white paper is that managing the non-DICOM data objects in a Neutral Archive in ...
