Smith & Victoria Villalta & David H. Zald & Bennett A. Landman Published online: 29 April 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine Converting between data formats (known as transcoding)— (DICOM) standard has allowed wide-scale interoperability be- either between files or between files and an internal memory tween medical imaging devices allowed for construction of representation—is a constant concern for software engineers and large-scale radiological imaging system. The DICOM standard image processers (Fig. 1). In medical imaging, it is provides for extensive structured meta-data ranging from the critical that real-world orientation (e.g., right/left) and physical dimensions of the imaging data to patient military status. distances are preserved. Some image acquisitions have Moreover, “private” fields are permitted to store almost any physical indications to allow orientation to be verified additional data within DICOM datasets. These alternative fields (e.g., using vitamin E capsules as fiducial markers in are often used to store key acquisition parameters for new or MRI), but these practices are inconsistent across sites. emerging
