Integration of the digital imaging and communications in medicine standard into an oral and maxillofacial image management and communication system.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to provide developmental information about digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) support applications for an image management and communication system (IMACS).
STUDY DESIGN: An oral and maxillofacial radiology IMACS that uses a proprietary image format was implemented in March 1997 in a general hospital dental clinic that supports more than 100 cubicles. DICOM was implemented into this system in 1998.
RESULTS: In March 1997, the clinic directly began processing oral and maxillofacial radiographs with digital image acquisition devices or converted them into proprietary digital format with a film digitizer. The digital images could then be viewed at workstations in the 11 different divisions of the department. A DICOM module was implemented to convert proprietary images into DICOM in June 1998. After the release of DICOM Supplement 32 on a digital x-ray, DICOM was implemented into the oral and maxillofacial radiology IMACS with a DICOM server and browser in June 1999. We describe the steps we took to implement this system in our institution with a brief report on the evaluation of this system.
CONCLUSION: We implemented a DICOM oral and maxillofacial IMACS that complies with the American College of Radiology and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association Standard DICOM, version 3.0. Most DICOM service classes and roles are supported.
