A DICOM IOD Proposal for Videocapsule
None:
DICOM (Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) is the international standard that rules all aspects of technology for medical hardware and software. In particular, it rules the information architecture regarding file formats for diagnostic modalities and communication among them. Videocapsule is a wireless microcamera in form of a pill, which is the non-invasive alternative to traditional endoscopy. Although videocapsule technology exists since 2000, DICOM does not provide a dedicated section to the information architecture regarding videocapsule. In this paper, the authors propose a novel DICOM IOD (Information Object Definition) aimed at including medical imaging data from videocapsule.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
