As an integral part of the lecture, participants will have access to a virtual hospital simulator based in the cloud that will allow for students to simulate real time transactions.
You will get a basic understanding of the DICOM standard and go through a workshop that provides practical experience in analyzing and debugging DICOM connections and messages. The architecture, communication protocol, and DICOM services such as Store, Print, and the interaction of a device with an information system and/or archive will be explained. A DICOM message showing the "header" information will be shown so that participants can interpret these in the future for troubleshooting and/or implementation purposes. Additional important DICOM features including security, compression and image quality will be covered as well. DICOM conformance statements will be used extensively as examples. This course will prepare you also to become DICOM certified which requires you to take an on-line exam which is proctored and managed by PARCA, see link.
Note: This is a "hands-on" portion of the course in students will have true interaction using our laptop computers which are pre-loaded with DICOM images and DICOM communication software.
