DICOM #33

Closed timClicks closed 12 years ago

From Wikipedia:

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in medical imaging. It includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol. The communication protocol is an application protocol that uses TCP/IP to communicate between systems. DICOM files can be exchanged between two entities that are capable of receiving image and patient data in DICOM format. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) holds the copyright to this standard.[1] It was developed by the DICOM Standards Committee, whose members[2] are also partly members of NEMA.[3]

Low priority, but worth noting at some stage.

I know someone who knows a lot about DICOM from neuroimaging background. Also would this be better in datapatterns.org?

Excellent! (Who don't you know? ;) Probably doesn't live very smoothly in the current manual. I don't know enough about it to say where it should live.
