Study Notes
DICOM Service Classes
- Composite and normalized services are built using DICOM message service elements (DIMSEs)
- There are 5 DIMSEs for composite information objects (DIMSE-C) and 6 for normalized information objects (DIMSE-N)
- Two categories of DIMSEs: operations (e.g. "store") and notifications (e.g. "event report")
DICOM Service-Object Pair (SOP)
- The service classes and information objects are combined to form SOP
- The SOP class is the elemental unit of DICOM
- Everything that DICOM does is based on the use of SOP classes
DIMSE-N Services
- N-EVENT-REPORT service: report an event about a SOP Instance to a DIMSE-service-user
- N-GET service: request the retrieval of information from a DIMSE-service-user
- N-SET service: request the modification of information by a DIMSE-service-user
- N-ACTION service: request a DIMSE-service-user to perform an action
- N-CREATE service: request a DIMSE-service-user to create an instance of a information object
- N-DELETE service: request a DIMSE-service-user to delete an instance of a information object
DICOM Terminology
- DICOM File Format: Information Object Definition (IODs)
- Application Entity Title (AE Title)
- Service Class User/Provider (SCU/SCP)
- Unique IDentifier (UID)
- Transfer Syntax
- Value Representations (VR)
DICOM File Format
- A single DICOM file contains:
- A header (stores information about the patient's name, the type of scan, image dimensions, etc)
- Image data (in uncompressed or compressed form)
DICOM Technology Overview
- The services and information objects address five primary areas of functionality:
- Transmission and persistence of complete objects
- Query and retrieval of such objects
- Performance of specific actions
- Workflow management
- Quality and consistency of image appearance
DICOM Features
- Network protocol: DICOM incorporates negotiation to permit peers to agree on the functions to be performed
- Message encoding: DICOM defines 24 data types and supports multiple character repertories
- Object data model: DICOM is based on a completely specified data model
- Data dictionary: DICOM includes a large number of new data elements
- Service classes: DICOM defines classes of service for specific applications and conformance levels
Value Representations (VR)
- VR is a 2-letter code that describes the type and format of the information sent in a DICOM Data Element
- Explicit VR: the VR is sent in the DICOM Message
- Implicit VR: no VR is sent in the message, and the product uses its own internal dictionary
- DICOM standard defines 27 basic data types, known as value representations (VRs)
