Scope

This standard addresses the exchange of digital images and related information between medical imaging devices and management systems within the area of health informatics. This standard promotes interoperability of medical imaging devices by: 　——for network communications, specifying a set of protocols to be followed by devices claiming conformance to this standard; 　——specifying the syntax and semantics of commands and related information that can be exchanged using these protocols; 　——for media communications, specifying a set of media storage services to be followed by devices claiming conformance to this standard, as well as a file format and medical directory structure to facilitate access to images and related information stored on exchange media; 　——specifying the information that implementations claiming conformance to this standard are required to provide. This standard does not specify: 　——the implementation details of any functionality of the DICOM standard on devices claiming conformance to this standard; 　——the overall functionality and feature set of a system achieved by integrating a set of devices claiming conformance to this standard; 　——the test/validation procedures for evaluating whether an implementation conforms to this standard. This standard addresses the area of medical informatics. Within this area, it addresses the exchange of digital information between medical imaging devices and other systems. Because such devices may interoperate with other medical devices and information systems, the scope of this standard needs to overlap with other areas of medical informatics. However, this standard does not cover the full breadth of this area. The development of this standard focuses on diagnostic medical imaging as practiced in radiology, cardiology, pathology, dentistry, ophthalmology, and related disciplines, and image-based treatments such as interventional radiology, radiotherapy, and surgery. However, it is also applicable to a variety of image and non-image related information exchanged in clinical, research, veterinary, and other medical environments. This standard facilitates interoperability of systems claiming interoperability in a multi-vendor environment, but does not itself guarantee interoperability.
