Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard needed adaptation for cardiac imaging.
  • Removable media exchange of cardiac images presented interoperability challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the first multi-vendor digital exchange of cardiac image data.
  • To extend the DICOM standard for cardiac images on removable media.
  • To facilitate adoption of this technology by system implementors.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-vendor demonstration was conducted at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual scientific sessions.
  • Cardiac images (echocardiograms and angiograms) were compiled onto a recordable CD (CD-R).
  • User-friendly software was developed for human-readable file manipulation and DICOM conversion.

Main Results:

  • Successful interoperability demonstration involving 29 vendors.
  • A CD-R containing 30 echocardiograms and 30 angiograms was created.
  • A prototype display program facilitated user interaction and image decompression.

Conclusions:

  • The demonstration successfully showcased multi-vendor interoperability for digital cardiac image exchange.
  • The adapted DICOM standard proved suitable for cardiac imaging on removable media.
  • Developed software simplified the implementation of this technology.
