The objective of these two installments of IT World was to give a general overview of DICOM and to take a look at different parts of the standard to get a sense of its main themes. We found that the standard provides a common reference for all developers but does not impose a single type of implementation. This allows for innovation. The standard is also built for flexibility, able to adapt to new modalities that have a need to communicate. The speedy acceptance of DICOM by the medical imaging industry is opening new possibilities for healthcare organizations to increase the quality while decreasing the cost of patient care. All of the DICOM networked supporting medical equipment as well as the organization's computer systems made by multiple original equipment manufacturers and located at one site or many sites can communicate by means of DICOM. This gives us the opportunity for medical images to be captured and communicated quicker. The result enables physicians to make diagnoses and treatment decisions sooner. It's all good stuff and even more reason why we should endeavor to understand the basics of DICOM. DICOM is here to stay!
《IT 世界》这两期的目标是对 DICOM 进行总体概述，并审视该标准的不同部分，以了解其主要主题。我们发现，该标准为所有开发者提供了一个通用参考，但并不强制规定单一的实现类型。这有利于创新。该标准还具有灵活性，能够适应需要通信的新模态。医学成像行业对 DICOM 的迅速接受，为医疗保健组织提高患者护理质量同时降低成本开辟了新的可能性。所有支持 DICOM 网络的医疗设备以及由多个原始设备制造商制造、位于一个或多个地点的组织计算机系统，都可以通过 DICOM 进行通信。这使我们有机会更快地采集和传输医学图像。结果是医生能够更快地做出诊断和治疗决策。这一切都很棒，这也是我们更应努力了解 DICOM 基础知识的原因。DICOM 会一直存在！
