[The research and implementation of DICOM interface of medical imaging devices]

PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) is the hot spot of hospital information construction research and DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) is the international standard about data compression and translation of medical image and relational information. Supporting DICOM standard is the necessary condition for medical image devices to join into PACS net. In making reforms in the old fashioned medical devices in hospitals, it is necessary to add DICOM interface for medical image devices. In this paper, DICOM information model is introduced and software system is implemented with Visual C + + programming, especially the writing, reading and C-STORE service in communication function are introduced in detail.
