Description
This book emphasizes the new advances in imaging technology, covering all
of the inherently digital imaging modalities such as computed radiography,
CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Digital Image Communications in
Medicine (DICOM) standards provide the path to integration of an electronic
network and PACS comprised of digital imaging modalities, image workstations,
and image archive. Knowledge of these standards is essential to ensure a
successful PACS implementation, for which the medical physicist takes a primary
responsibility. Therefore, the focus of this book is to provide the medical
physicist and other interested individuals with tools and information to
become conversant with the details of DICOM, and to enable the verification
of optimal image acquisition, display, archiving, and quality control of
PACS in the clinical environment.
