DICOM Conformance Statements

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an industry standard for image data communication intended to facilitate the communication of information between various systems. More recently, DICOM RT has been defined to specify the structures or objects associated with radiotherapy to facilitate the communication of plan information throughout the radiotherapy department.

Connectivity between two pieces of equipment can be evaluated ahead of time by the use of the equipment's DICOM Conformance Statements. However, for radiotherapy applications, it is not usually possible to determine interoperability, it must be done by extensive testing. Nevertheless, conformance statements provide a foundation to determine connectivity and assess the potential inter operability of two products, and in some cases, identify potential problems without ever having them physically connected.

Below are the DICOM Conformance Statements for the current imaged-based products. For additional information, please visit the NEMA web site at http://medical.nema.org/dicom.html.

These DICOM Conformance Statements are in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). To view and print these documents, you'll need the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in installed in your browser. If you do not have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can get it from Adobe's website.
