Healthcare DICOM and PACS - Foundation

In this journey, you'll learn about DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine), the international standard for medical images and related information. DICOM® defines the formats necessary for exchanging medical images with clinical quality. Implemented in nearly all radiology, cardiology, and radiotherapy devices, and increasingly in other medical fields like ophthalmology and dentistry, DICOM® is one of the most widely used healthcare messaging standards globally. Since its first publication in 1993, DICOM® has revolutionized radiology by enabling a fully digital workflow, replacing X-ray films. Recognized as the ISO 12052 standard, DICOM® supports advanced medical imaging applications that have transformed clinical medicine.
