DICOM and PACS
Class Description
As today's diagnostic imaging environment becomes less film and more digital image oriented, hospitals tend to rely on internal and external transmission of these images for diagnostic and procedural use. Further, the incorporation of Picture Archival and Communication Systems (PACS) into this environment has brought networks, networking technology, and the DICOM standard to the forefront of interest in the world of diagnostic imaging. Biomedical/Clinical Engineers and Managers need to understand the basic form, function and terminology related to this rapidly evolving technology.
