DICOM Online Core Essentials

Product code: WD-101

This high paced web-based seminar teaches the essential components of the DICOM standard, its protocol and data format (header), and how to resolve any interface issues with devices using this interface standard.

Audience

This seminar is intended for professionals who support, manage and develop medical imaging devices such as digital acquisition modalities, PACS systems, and systems who are image enabled such as Electronic Health Records. Professionals include, but are not limited to, PACS administrators and Radiologic Technologists who regularly interface with a PACS such as for "fixing studies", biomedical engineers, service engineers and IT personnel. This seminar is also useful for anyone who wants to learn about this standard as they are looking for a career in healthcare imaging and informatics such as software developers, integration and interface analysts.

Detailed Learning Objectives

Students will understand the DICOM standard, i.e. the protocol details such as establishing connections, the DICOM protocol commands, be able to read and fix DICOM headers and configure DICOM devices.
