TLDR
This chapter provides an insight into a newly developed DICOM service called “Application Hosting”, which introduces a standardized plug-in architecture for image processing, thus permitting users to utilize cross-vendor image processing plug-ins in DICom applications.Abstract:
Over the past 15 years Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) has established itself as the international standard for medical image communication. Most medical imaging equipment uses DICOM network and media services to export image data, thus making this standard highly relevant for medical image processing. The first section of this chapter provides a basic introduction into DICOM with its more than 3,600 pages of technical documentation, followed by a section covering selected advanced topics of special interest for medical image processing. The introductory text familiarizes the reader with the standard’s main concepts such as information objects and DICOM media and network services. The rendering pipeline for image display and the concept of DICOM conformance are also discussed. Specialized DICOM services such as advanced image display services that provide means for storing how an image was viewed (“Softcopy Presentation States”) and how multiple images should be aligned on an output device (“Structured Display” and “Hanging Protocols”) are described. We further describe DICOM’s sophisticated approach (“Structured Reporting”) for storing structured documents such as CAD information, which is then covered in more detail. Finally, the last section provides an insight into a newly developed DICOM service called “Application Hosting”, which introduces a standardized plug-in architecture for image processing, thus permitting users to utilize cross-vendor image processing plug-ins in DICOM applications.read more

Long radiology workdays reduce detection and accommodation accuracy.
TL;DR: After a day of clinical reading, radiologists have reduced ability to focus, increased symptoms of fatigue and oculomotor strain, and reduced able to detect fractures.

Consistency of softcopy and hardcopy: preliminary experiences with the new DICOM extensions for image display
Marco Eichelberg,Joerg Riesmeier,Klaus Kleber,Joerg Holstein,Herman J. Oosterwijk,Peter F. Jensch +5 more
TL;DR: Three new DICOM extensions attempt to close the gap by defining a comprehensive model for the display of images on softcopy and hardcopy devices by allowing to store all parameters defining how an image is displayed or printed in a separate DICom object that can be managed with the existing DicOM database services.

DICOM extensions for narrow-band networks: compresssion of nonpixel data
TL;DR: It is concluded that compression of DICOM header information is only interesting for data sets which mainly consist of non-pixel data, and especially for use with narrow-band networks extensions as proposed in this paper could be a solution to save valuable bandwidth.
