1.1 The display, transfer and storage of digital nondestructive evaluation data in a common, open format is necessary for the effective interpretation and preservation of evaluation results. ASTM International has developed common open standards for Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation (DICONDE) based on the ubiquitous healthcare industry standard Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM). This guide provides an overview of the ASTM International standard practices that address DICONDE and assistance in identifying the correct standard practices for different use cases.
1.2 This document provides an overview of how to utilize the ASTM DICONDE standard practices found in paragraph
