Medical imaging is increasing its importance in matters of medical diagnosis and in treatment support. Much is due to computers that have revolutionized medical imaging not only in acquisition process but also in the way it is visualized, stored, exchanged and managed. Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) is an example of how medical imaging takes advantage of computers. To solve ...

The large and continuously growing amount of medical image data demands access methods with regards to content rather than simple text-based queries. The potential benefits of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) are evident and have been approved. Still, CBIR is not a well-established part of daily routine of radiologists. We have already presented a ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article was to highlight the importance of data management systems in radiotherapy. METHODS We performed a database search to review the errors or potential errors in radiotherapy planning and delivery which could be prevented in case of using the DICOM communication system. RESULTS We registered the following rates of errors: 1) Errors caused by manual rewriting...

The main characteristics of the developed experimental image management system are presented in the paper. The system features a functional DICOM environment that includes distributed image archive and a platform independent and user-friendly interface for manipulating the data stored in the databases. The system offers authorised user access to information stored in the image databases. User a...

The purpose of this article is to introduce an advanced system for the support of processing of medical image information, and the terminology related to this system, which can be an important element to a faster transition to a fully digitalized hospital. The core of the system is a set of DICOM compliant applications running over a dedicated computer network. The whole integrated system creat...

The Standard for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) specifies a non-proprietary digital imaging format, file structure and data interchange protocols for the transfer of biomedical images and non-image data related to such images it is a specification of the components that are required in order to achieve inter-operability between biomedical imaging computer systems. We des...

Most dental implant planning systems use a 3D representation of the CT scan of the patient under study as it provides a more intuitive view of the human jaw. The presence of metallic objects in human jaws, such as amalgam or gold fillings, provokes several artifacts like streaking and beam hardening which makes the reconstruction process difficult. In order to reduce these artifacts, several me...

The paper describes the problem of using digital filters on the DICOM graphic files. An attempt has been made to improve the process of extracting information from graphic files generated by medical measuring instruments.

AIM To address issues in interoperability between different fundus image systems, we proposed a web eye-picture archiving and communication system (PACS) framework in conformance with digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) and health level 7 (HL7) protocol to realize fundus images and reports sharing and communication through internet. METHODS Firstly, a telemedicine-based eye ...

Zusammenfassung. Die Aufgabe der Segmentierung und der Flächenmessung des Objektbereichs im Bild einer DICOM-Bildfolge wird wie die Aufgabe der Parameterschätzung, die das Kriterium des Maximums der AposterioriWahrscheinlichkeiten für Vektor-Prozesse optimieren, vorgestellt. Die Auflösung, die das Resultat der folgerichtigen Optimierung des Kriteriums ist, besteht aus der Pixelklassifikation de...
