[The study and implementation of DICOM conformance in the network printing of PACS]

To implement the network printing in PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), each level of DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) print management service is defined by means of object oriented method, and the corresponding events and properties are implemented with C++ language. It is tested on laser printers of AGFA, KODAK and FUJI to determine whether the network environment supports the print management service and implements the presentation LUT (Look Up Table) correctly. The quality control of printing at the level of data flow is also assessed. The program finally succeeds in realizing the network printing based on DICOM in hospital environment.
