DICOM:
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine.
DICOM is a standard for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in medical imaging.
Includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol.
DICOM differs from other data formats in that it groups information into data sets. That means that a file actually contains the patient ID within the file, so that the image can never be separated from this information by mistake.
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.
DICOM enables the integration of scanners, servers, workstations, printers, and network hardware from multiple manufacturers into a picture archiving and communication system. The different devices come with DICOM conformance statements which clearly state the DICOM classes they support.
DICOM has been widely adopted by hospitals.
BabySentryPro utilizes a DICOM interface to ultrasound machines or other sources of imagery.
