Communication Standards

Protocols are defined by standards A Standard is an agreement which may be

voluntary, Government mandated, or International Law

Protocols may also be proprietary

Page 5: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

Who Defines Communication

Standards? User Consortia (e.g., HL7) Organizations (e.g., NEMA, IEEE) US Government Agencies (e.g., ANSI, NIST) Foreign Government Agencies (e.g., CEN) United Nations (e.g., ISO, CCITT)

ACR-NEMA

1982 - ACR and NEMA form a joint committee 1985 - Publication of Version 1.0 1988 - Compression and Mag Tape Standards 1988 - Publication of Version 2.0 1989 - Began work on Network Version with HIS/RIS

Page 7: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

DICOM The name was changed to separate the standard

from the originating body 1991 - Release of Parts 1 and 8 of DICOM 1992 - RSNA demonstration, Part 8 1993 - DICOM Parts 1-9 approved,

RSNA demonstration of ALL parts 1994 - Part 10: Media Storage and File Format 1995 - Parts 11,12, and 13 plus Supplements

Summary of DICOM Features

NETWORK PROTOCOL DICOM incorporates negotiation to permit nodes to agree on

the functions to be performed

MESSAGE ENCODING DICOM defines 24 data types (V2.0 had 4) DICOM message encoding includes JPEG compression (17

varients) DICOM includes encapsulated image and multi-frame syntaxes DICOM supports multiple character repertoires

Page 12: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

Summary of DICOM Features OBJECT DATA MODEL

DICOM is based on a completely specified data model DICOM includes a robust UID mechanism

DATA DICTIONARY DICOM includes a large number of new data elements

SERVICE CLASSES DICOM defines classes of service for specific applications (e.g.

image management, printing) and conformance levels

Page 13: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

Summary of DICOM Features

Off-Line Media Support DICOM defines a directory structure and media profiles

CONFORMANCE DICOM requires conformance statements and contains detailed

conformance requirements

Page 14: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

DICOM Terminology

DICOM Message Service Element (DIMSE) - The set of DICOM Application Layer communication services.

DIMSE Service Group (DSG) - A subset of the full DIMSE services which is applicable to a specific IOD.

Information Object Definition (IOD) - A data abstraction of a class of real-world objects. A collection of related attributes (data elements).

Page 15: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

DICOM Terminology

Service Class - A set of functionality relating to a single type or real-world activity. Composed of a set of SOP Classes plus rules and associated semantics.

Service-Object-Pair Class (SOP) - The atomic unit of DICOM functionality. Composed of an IOD and a DIMSE Service Group plus restrictions or extensions of the IOD. (Equivalent to an Object Class)

Conformance

DICOM Part 2 specifies the structure of a conformance statement

DICOM does not specify a test suite or a compliance verification mechanism

All DICOM implementations must be supported by a properly constructed conformance statement

Page 19: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

DICOM Conformance Statement Implementation Model which describes the Application

Entities in the implementation Detailed specification of each Application Entity

SOP Classes supported policies for initiation and acceptance of associations

Presentation Contexts SOP options Supported communications protocols Specializations Configuration

Page 20: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

Purpose of a Conformance Statement Allow a user to determine which optional

components of the DICOM Standard are supported by a particular implementation, and what extensions or specializations an implementation adds.

By comparing the Conformance Statements from two implementations, a knowledgeable user should be able to determine whether or not interoperability is possible.

Page 21: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

DICOM Conformance Testing

No Formal Mechanism is Defined in the Standard Committee for the Advancement of DICOM Define initial test plan and cross-connect matrix Future RFP for organization to monitor the process Problem: How to Map DICOM Conformance

Statements into Test Plans

Page 22: DICOM D igital  I maging  Co mmunications in  M edicine

The DICOM Explosion Joint CEN-DICOM development Medicom = DICOM MIPS 95 work is underway with JIRA IS&C Harmonization is also in progress HL7 Harmonization continuing interest New DICOM organization

Companies: NEMA and non-NEMA ACR, ACC, CAP, ... individuals

Summary Networking is a critical component of all medical

imaging systems Support for Open Communication Standards is a

MUST DICOM is here, NOW DICOM products exist on the market DICOM is emerging as THE common protocol for

medical image communication - WORLD WIDE!
