Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a standard for medical imaging.
  • Existing annotation methods may alter original clinical images.
  • Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are costly for smaller clinics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new method for creating annotation objects for DICOM images.
  • To enable non-destructive annotation of clinical images.
  • To provide an affordable annotation solution for smaller healthcare facilities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the redundant data channel within DICOM for annotations.
  • Developing annotation objects that can overlap the original image.
  • Supporting various annotation types, including color and scanned images.

  • Enabling easy annotation creation with digital pens.

    • Main Results:

    • Annotation objects can be inserted, added, or modified without affecting the original DICOM image.
    • The method supports diverse annotations, including color and scanned patient record images.
    • Annotations can be easily created and manipulated.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers a cost-effective and non-destructive way to annotate DICOM images.
    • This approach is particularly beneficial for medium and small clinics lacking PACS.
    • The DICOM standard facilitates flexible annotation of clinical images.
