Medical image data generally need a huge amount of resources for storage and transmission. In recent years, due to the extensive popularity of medical imaging applications in healthcare settings and the increased interest in telemedicine technologies, it is important to minimize both storage and transmission bandwidth necessities required for archival and communication of related data, preferab...

This paper presents our contributions in the design and implementation of a DICOM compliant environment for structured reporting in echocardiography. A structuring methodology of the medical information aiming to extend the set of contexts and templates with those corresponding to non-numerical findings is the first major contribution. The enhancement of DICOM mechanisms used in the report crea...

Skin dose assessment in interventional radiology (IR) procedures can be made retrospectively by using the dose-area product (DAP) registered and data provided by the DICOM header, in facilities having a PACS or other alternative image archiving system, such as medical CD-ROM under DICOM standard. Patient skin dose evaluation based on this method can help to decide on the need for further clinic...

Our goal was to develop a system that would allow us to recreate live patient arterial pathology by using an industrial technique known as stereolithography (or rapid prototyping). In industry, drawings rendered into dicom files can be exported to a computer programmed to drive various industrial tools. Those tools then make a 3D structure shown by the original drawings. We manipulated CT scan ...

Abstract This paper reports the results of study 3D printing materials applied as phantom radiology, which is an imitation human body tissue for medical radiology purposes. The types were ABS, PETG, flexible TPU, Wood and PLA resin. Each them was printed using into sample 30 mm x 9 mm. samples then tested Siemens CT-Scan machine. Radiant Dicom Viewers Micro software used to process data determi...

INTRODUCTION Digital imaging has become the most prominent modality in medicine. Beside computed tomography (CT) or nuclear medicine, which have been always digital, plain radiography, endoscopy, and microscopy are nowadays captured directly digital, too. Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) have been established in the hospitals all over the world to manage these information reso...

Although digital teaching files are important to radiology education, there are no current satisfactory solutions for export of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images from picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) in desktop publishing format. A vendor-neutral digital teaching file, the Radiology Interesting Case Server (RadICS), offers an efficient tool for harv...

The information contained in a DICOM image is very crucial for telemedicine, tele-radiology and other medical diagnosis and prognostic applications. In the field of medical transcription there have been various techniques in detecting the edge of an image. In most of the computer vision systems, DICOM image is considered as a standard digital imaging process of storing, capturing and transmitti...

Delivering of medical image content to mobile/embedded devices with low storage and processing capabilities and low resolution displays is a challenging, but important task for achieving ubiquitous computing in modern hospital environments. The common approaches in industry and technical literature employ JPEG2000 compression and image streaming. Beside image compression, JPEG2000 facilitates i...

2000 by the America DICOM cardiac standard became universally accepted throughout the world as the only method appropriate for exchange of digital angiographic images. More recently, the DICOM Standards Committee has adopted a high-resolution standard, defined as 1024 1024 pixel images with up to 12 bits (4096 levels) of gray scale per pixel. The large quantities of digital data required to rep...
