Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine ( DICOM) is a technical standard for the digital storage and transmission of medical images and related information. [1] It includes a file format definition, which specifies the structure of a DICOM file, as well as a network communication protocol that uses TCP/IP to communicate between systems.
Digital imaging. Digital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of a digital representation of the visual characteristics of an object, [1] such as a physical scene or the interior structure of an object. The term is often assumed to imply or include the processing, compression, storage, printing and display of such images.
The Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) Standard is used globally to store, exchange, and transmit medical images. The DICOM Standard incorporates protocols for imaging techniques such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and radiation therapy. Compression of medical images
Image resolution is the level of detail of an image. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved.
A picture archiving and communication system ( PACS) is a medical imaging technology which provides economical storage and convenient access to images from multiple modalities (source machine types). [1] Electronic images and reports are transmitted digitally via PACS; this eliminates the need to manually file, retrieve, or transport film ...
Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm. [1] [2] As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems ...
Digital image. A digital image is an image composed of picture elements, also known as pixels, each with finite, discrete quantities of numeric representation for its intensity or gray level that is an output from its two-dimensional functions fed as input by its spatial coordinates denoted with x, y on the x-axis and y-axis, respectively. [1]
Imaging informatics. Imaging informatics, also known as radiology informatics or medical imaging informatics, is a subspecialty of biomedical informatics that aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy, usability and reliability of medical imaging services within the healthcare enterprise. [1] It is devoted to the study of how information about ...
