Advantages (2)Advantages (2)

Excellent image quality.Excellent image quality. DICOM supports up to 65536 (16 bits) shades DICOM supports up to 65536 (16 bits) shades

of gray for the monochrome image display, of gray for the monochrome image display, still dominating many modalities. With this still dominating many modalities. With this respect, converting DICOM images into respect, converting DICOM images into JPEGs or bitmaps (with 256 shades of gray) JPEGs or bitmaps (with 256 shades of gray) makes them practically unusable for makes them practically unusable for diagnostic reading. On the other hand, diagnostic reading. On the other hand, DICOM does include various image-encoding DICOM does include various image-encoding formats, from basic bitmapped data to formats, from basic bitmapped data to wavelets.wavelets.

Advantages (3)Advantages (3)

Full support for image-acquisition parameters.Full support for image-acquisition parameters. Not only does DICOM store the image pixels, but it Not only does DICOM store the image pixels, but it

also records a multitude of other image-related also records a multitude of other image-related parameters such as patient 3D position, physical parameters such as patient 3D position, physical sizes of the objects in the image, slice thickness, sizes of the objects in the image, slice thickness, image exposure parameters, etc. This data image exposure parameters, etc. This data enormously enriches the informational content of enormously enriches the informational content of DICOM images, and facilitates processing and DICOM images, and facilitates processing and interpreting the image data in various ways - for interpreting the image data in various ways - for instance, creating 3D images from the sequences of instance, creating 3D images from the sequences of 2D CT slices.2D CT slices.

Complete encoding of medical data.Complete encoding of medical data. DICOM files and messages use about 4000 DICOM files and messages use about 4000

standardized fields ("DICOM dictionary") to standardized fields ("DICOM dictionary") to convey various medical data - from patient convey various medical data - from patient name to image color depth to current patient name to image color depth to current patient diagnosis. This data is often essential for diagnosis. This data is often essential for correct diagnostics.correct diagnostics.
