Introduction In Pathology, the development of slide scanners offers the possibility to acquire whole slide images (WSI) from specimen stored on glass slides and this is the beginning of a new paradigm in this medical domain. Two DICOM supplements were defined by the DICOM WG26 in order to store and display such big amount of data. These WSI images are mainly used for teaching, for research and ...

SUMMARY This paper describes standards which seek to integr ate security, such as authentication and encryption, into the domain of h ealth care. It also proposes several concepts according to these standards. There are tw o standards which have been developed in the USA. One of these has found accep tance from software developers in Germany. This standard, called DICOM (digital im aging and co...

The Medical image database is growing day by day [1]. Most of the medical images are stored in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format. There are various categories of medical images such as CT scan, XRay, Ultrasound, Pathology, MRI, Microscopy, etc [2]. Physicians compare previous and current medical images associated patients to provide right treatment. Medical Imaging i...

This paper presents an ITK [1] implementation for exporting the contours of the automated segmentation results to DICOM-RT Structure Set format. The “radiotherapy structure set” (RTSTRUCT) object of the DICOM standard is used for the transfer of patient structures and related data, between the devices found within and outside the radiotherapy department. It mainly contains the information of re...

Zusammenfassung. Ein Java DICOM Viewer zur Darstellung und Verarbeitung medizinischer Bilddaten wurde speziell für die Teleradiologie entwickelt zur kooperativen Bearbeitung und Konsultation innerhalb und außerhalb des Krankenhauses. Die Realisierung der Client-Software als Java-Applet, in Verbindung mit einer zusätzlichen Java-Serverapplikation erlaubt die Ausführung von Telekonferenzen im Int...

We introduce a fast and well-structured package for constructing voxel-based computational phantoms as MCNP(X) input file based on CT DICOM images. Our program which has been implemented under a graphic user inter-face provides several basic image processing tools for manipulating images. The MCNP materials are interpreted from the CT numbers of DICOM images. Two modes of phantom creation have ...

It is widely accepted that content-based image retrieval (CBIR) can be extremely useful for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). However, CBIR has not been established in clinical practice yet. As a widely unattended gap of integration, a unified data concept for CBIR-based CAD results and reporting is lacking. Picture archiving and communication systems and the workflow of radiologists must be cons...
