background: this study describes the possibility of implementing three-dimensional printing technology to create a precise construction of a planned bolus, based on computed tomography information stored in the digital imaging and communications in medicine (dicom) format file. materials and methods:  to create the bolus with a 3d printer, we converted data in the dicom format to the stereolith...

Most medical images are archived and transmitted using the DICOM format. The DICOM information model combines image pixel data and associated metadata into a single object. It is not possible to access the metadata separately from the pixel data. However, there are important use cases that only need access to metadata, and the DICOM format increases the running time of those use cases. Tag morp...

BACKGROUND Clinical imaging data are typically stored and transferred in the DICOM format, whereas the NIfTI format has been widely adopted by scientists in the neuroimaging community. Therefore, a vital initial step in processing the data is to convert images from the complicated DICOM format to the much simpler NIfTI format. While there are a number of tools that usually handle DICOM to NIfTI...

In imaging medicine the DICOM standard has become a widely accepted and implemented format for the exchange, storage and presentation of medical imaging data. Numerous imaging modalities are supported however there is not a dedicated solution for thermal infrared imaging. We designed and implemented a new proposal for DICOM Thermal Infrared Imaging (TII) using existing DICOM data structures and...

This paper introduces an open implementation of DICOM for whole-slide microscopic imaging, following Supplement 145 of the DICOM standard. The software is divided into two parts: (a) a command-line tool to convert an whole-slide image to the DICOM format, and (b) a zero-footprint Web interface to display such DICOM images. The software architecture leverages the DICOM server Orthanc. The entire...

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...

DICOM format has been recognized as the de facto standard for storage, transferring and sharing of cardiac images along different modalities like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Nuclear Medicine, Computer Tomography (CT), Digital Angiography (XA), Digital Radiology. However, in many medical environments there is a large need to have cardiac images available in formats (i.e. GIF, BMP or JPEG) ...
