Online teaching files are an important source of educational and referential materials in the radiology community. The commonly used Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) file format of the radiology community is not natively supported by common Web browsers. The ability of the Web server to convert and parse DICOM is important when the DICOM-converting tools are not available. In this paper, we describe our approach to develop a Web-based teaching file authoring tool. Our server is built using Apache Web server running on FreeBSD operating system. The dynamic page content is produced by Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP). Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine images are converted by ImageMagick into Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine attributes are parsed by dicom3tools and stored in PostgreSQL database. Using free software available from the Internet, we build a Web service that allows radiologists to create their own online teaching file cases with a common Web browser.
在线教学文件是放射学界教育和参考资料的重要来源。放射学界常用的医学数字成像和通信(DICOM)文件格式并非普通网页浏览器原生支持的格式。当无法使用DICOM转换工具时,网络服务器转换和解析DICOM的能力就很重要。在本文中,我们描述了开发基于网络的教学文件创作工具的方法。我们的服务器是使用运行在FreeBSD操作系统上的Apache网络服务器构建的。动态页面内容由超文本预处理器(PHP)生成。医学数字成像和通信图像由ImageMagick转换为联合图像专家组(JPEG)格式。医学数字成像和通信属性由dicom3tools解析并存储在PostgreSQL数据库中。利用从互联网上获取的免费软件,我们构建了一个网络服务,使放射科医生能够使用普通网页浏览器创建自己的在线教学文件案例。
