Basic introduction

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an international standard for medical images and related information (ISO 12052). It defines medical image formats that can be used for data exchange with quality that meets clinical needs.

DICOM is widely used in radiological medicine, cardiovascular imaging, and radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, etc.), and is increasingly used in other medical fields such as ophthalmology and dentistry. With tens of thousands of medical imaging devices in use, DICOM is one of the most widely deployed medical information standards. Currently, there are approximately tens of billions of medical images that comply with DICOM standards for clinical use.

Since the release of the first version of the DICOM standard in 1985, DICOM has brought revolutionary changes to radiology practice, with X-ray films being replaced by fully digital workflows. Just as the Internet has become a new platform for information dissemination applications, DICOM has made possible advanced medical image applications that "change the face of clinical medicine." For example, in the emergency department, cardiac stress testing, breast cancer examination, DICOM serves doctors and patients and is the standard for effective work of medical imaging.
