Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)

Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the international standard for the communication, storage, and management of medical images and related information. It defines the formats and protocols required to ensure that medical images retain the quality and data necessary for clinical use and interoperability. 

DICOM enables seamless image exchange between healthcare systems, supporting radiology, cardiology, pathology, and other medical imaging specialties. It ensures that images can be shared, viewed, and interpreted consistently across different devices and platforms.
