What is: DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)

Description:
A standard of medical informatics for exchanging data between medical imaging equipment and other systems, ensuring compatibility developed jointly by ACR (the American College of Radiology) and NEMA (the National Electrical Manufacturers Association). The standard indicates a set of protocols for networked devices. The standard also describes the syntax and semantics of commands and information that these protocols can exchange. The standard includes a set of data storage devices and services that conform to the standard.
