Full Description This report provides a technical specification based on the DICOM Standard as it applies to dentistry with the goal of increasing interoperability within and between institutional digital radiographic systems. This report will illustrate through high-level interaction use cases how to achieve interoperability for typical dental imaging tasks. They are: (1) view and print images on removable media; (2) create interoperable removable media images; (3) share images among various networked multi-vendor storage and acquisition systems; (4) ability to exchange visible light photographic and endoscopic images within a dental image acquisition context; (5) create and exchange DICOM structured display objects; (6) perform scheduled workflow to integrate digital images with an electronic dental records system; (7) import and reconcile Images from outside the institution into the electronic dental records system; (8) securely transfer DICOM images via email, and; (9) access DICOM images locally via the Internet. These use cases show the DICOM requirements in context, describing them in clear relationship to the clinical tasks of the dental provider.
