The recently published Dicom supplement 54 (dicom e-mail) defines a connection between the internet and the medical communication inside hospitals. Up to now vendor specific dicom protocol additions were needed to realize certain teleradiology solutions. The new concept relies on vendor independent standard protocols without specific additions.
Main Features:
client-server solution using the internet designed for emergency medicine integration of various clinical informations approved security concept modularized architecture The concept was realized within the scope of a teleradiology project of the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. It will be expanded to the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Germany in 2002 with over 20 hospitals included.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
