Summary

This study introduces the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard for medical imaging. It details a Visual C++ software implementation for integrating legacy medical devices into Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS).

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging Technology
Health Informatics
Software Engineering

Context:

Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are central to hospital information systems.
The Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard is crucial for medical image data compression and information management.
Integrating older medical devices into modern PACS networks requires adherence to the DICOM standard.

Purpose:

To introduce the DICOM information model.
To detail the implementation of a software system using Visual C++ for DICOM compliance.
To explain the writing, reading, and C-STORE communication services for medical image devices.

Summary:

This paper presents a DICOM information model and a Visual C++ software implementation.
The software facilitates the integration of medical imaging devices into PACS by supporting DICOM standards.
Key communication functions, including writing, reading, and C-STORE services, are elaborated.

Impact:

Enables the integration of legacy medical imaging equipment into PACS networks.
Facilitates seamless data exchange and management of medical images.
Supports the modernization of hospital information infrastructure through DICOM compliance.
