Health informatics - Digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) including workflow and data management (ISO 12052:2017)

ISO 12052:2017, within the field of health informatics, addresses the exchange of digital images and information related to the production and management of those images, between both medical imaging equipment and systems concerned with the management and communication of that information.
ISO 12052:2017 facilitates interoperability of medical imaging equipment by specifying:
-      for network communications, a set of protocols to be followed by devices claiming conformance to this document;
-      the syntax and semantics of Commands and associated information which can be exchanged using these protocols;
-      for media communication, a set of media storage services to be followed by devices claiming conformance to this document, as well as a File Format and a medical directory structure to facilitate access to the images and related information stored on interchange media;
-      information that is to be supplied with an implementation for which conformance to this document is claimed.
ISO 12052:2017 does not specify:
-      the implementation details of any features of the DICOM standard on a device claiming conformance;
-      the overall set of features and functions to be expected from a system implemented by integrating a group of devices each claiming conformance to this document;
-      a testing/validation procedure to assess an implementation's conformance to this document.
ISO 12052:2017 pertains to the field of medical informatics. Within that field, it addresses the exchange of digital information between medical imaging equipment and other systems. Because such equipment may interoperate with other medical devices and information systems, the scope of this document needs to overlap with other areas of medical informatics. However, this document does not address the full breadth of this field.
ISO 12052:2017 has been developed with an emphasis on diagnostic medical imaging as practiced in radiology, cardiology, pathology, dentistry, ophthalmology and related disciplines, and image-based therapies such as interventional radiology, radiotherapy and surgery. However, it is also applicable to a wide range of image and non-image related information exchanged in clinical, research, veterinary, and other medical environments.
ISO 12052:2017 facilitates interoperability of systems claiming conformance in a multi-vendor environment, but does not, by itself, guarantee interoperability.

Medizinische Informatik - Digitale Bildverarbeitung und Kommunikation in der Medizin (DICOM) inklusive Workflow und Datenmanagement (ISO 12052:2017)

Informatique de santé - Imagerie numérique et communication en médecine (DICOM) incluant le déroulement des opérations et la gestion des données (ISO 12052:2017)

Dans le domaine de l'informatique de santé, le présent document aborde l'échange d'images numériques et d'informations relatives à la production et à la gestion de ces images, entre un équipement d'imagerie médicale et les systèmes concernés par la gestion et la communication de ces informations.
ISO 12052:2017 facilite l'interopérabilité de l'équipement d'imagerie médicale en spécifiant:
-      pour les communications réseau, un ensemble de protocoles devant être suivis par les dispositifs revendiquant la conformité au présent document;
-      la syntaxe et la sémantique des commandes et les informations associées pouvant être échangées à l'aide de ces protocoles;
-      pour la communication par support, un ensemble de services de stockage sur support devant être suivi par des dispositifs revendiquant la conformité à ce document, ainsi qu'un format de fichier et une structure de répertoires médicaux facilitant l'accès aux images et aux informations associées stockées sur un support d'échange;
-      les informations qui doivent être fournies avec une implémentation pour laquelle la conformité à ce document est revendiquée.
ISO 12052:2017 ne spécifie pas:
-      les détails d'implémentation de toutes les caractéristiques de la norme DICOM sur un dispositif revendiquant la conformité;
-      l'ensemble des caractéristiques et fonctions attendues d'un système plus vaste mis en ?uvre en intégrant un groupe de dispositifs revendiquant chacun la conformité au présent document;
-      un mode opératoire d'essai/de validation visant à évaluer la conformité d'une implémentation au présent document.
ISO 12052:2017 a trait à l'informatique médicale. Dans ce domaine, il s'intéresse à l'échange d'informations numériques entre un équipement d'imagerie médicale et d'autres systèmes. Dans la mesure où de tels équipements peuvent interopérer avec d'autres dispositifs médicaux et systèmes d'information, le domaine d'application du présent document doit recouper d'autres domaines de l'informatique médicale. Il n'en traite cependant pas toute l'étendue.
ISO 12052:2017 a été élaboré en insistant sur l'imagerie médicale de diagnostic telle qu'elle est pratiquée en radiologie, cardiologie, pathologie, dentisterie, ophtalmologie et disciplines associées, et sur les thérapies basées sur l'image, telles que la radiologie interventionnelle, la radiothérapie et la chirurgie. Toutefois, il s'applique également à une large gamme d'informations en lien ou non avec l'image qui sont échangées dans des environnements cliniques, axés sur la recherche, vétérinaires et autres.
ISO 12052:2017 facilite l'interopérabilité des systèmes revendiquant la conformité dans un environnement multifournisseurs, mais ne garantit pas, par lui-même, l'interopérabilité.

Zdravstvena informatika - Digitalno slikanje in komunikacija v medicini (DICOM), vključno z upravljanjem poteka dela in podatkov (ISO 12052:2017)

Ta dokument v okviru zdravstvene informatike obravnava izmenjavo digitalnih slik in informacij, povezanih z izdelavo in upravljanjem teh slik, med medicinsko opremo za slikanje in sistemi, ki skrbijo za upravljanje in posredovanje teh informacij.
Ta dokument omogoča preprostejšo interoperabilnost medicinske opreme za slikanje, tako da določa:
– skupino protokolov za komunikacijo prek omrežja, ki jih morajo naprave, skladne s
tem dokumentom, upoštevati,
– skladnjo ter pomen ukazov in z njimi povezanih informacij, ki jih je mogoče izmenjevati z uporabo
teh protokolov,
– (v okviru izmenjave predstavnostnih vsebin) nabor storitev za shranjevanje teh vsebin, ki jih morajo uporabljati naprave, skladne s tem dokumentom, ter obliko datotek in imeniško strukturo medicinskih podatkov za lažji dostop do slik in z njimi povezanih informacij, ki so shranjene na nosilcih podatkov za izmenjavo,
– informacije, ki morajo biti podane pri uvedbi, ki je skladna s
tem dokumentom.
Ta dokument ne določa:
– podrobnosti uvedbe katerekoli funkcije standarda za digitalno slikanje in komunikacijo v medicini (DICOM) v skladni napravi,
– celotnega nabora funkcij, ki se jih pričakuje od sistema, sestavljenega iz skupine naprav, ki so skladne s tem dokumentom,
– postopka preskušanja/vrednotenja za ocenjevanje skladnosti uvedbe s tem dokumentom.
Ta dokument je povezan s področjem zdravstvene informatike. V okviru tega področja obravnava izmenjavo digitalnih informacij med medicinsko opremo za slikanje in drugimi sistemi. Ker lahko taka oprema deluje v povezavi z drugimi medicinskimi napravami in informacijskimi sistemi, se mora področje uporabe tega dokumenta povezovati z drugimi področji zdravstvene informatike. Kljub temu ta dokument ne zajema vseh ustreznih področij v celoti.
Ta dokument je bil pripravljen s poudarkom na diagnostičnem medicinskem slikanju, kot se uporablja v radiologiji, kardiologiji, patologiji, zobozdravstvu, oftalmologiji in z njimi povezanimi disciplinami, ter pri zdravljenjih na podlagi slik, kot so intervencijska radiologija, radioterapija in kirurgija. Kljub temu se uporablja tudi za
širok nabor informacij, povezanih s slikami, in drugih informacij, ki se izmenjujejo v kliničnem, raziskovalnem in veterinarskem okolju ter drugih zdravstvenih okoljih.
Ta dokument omogoča lažjo interoperabilnost sistemov, ki so skladni za uporabo v okolju s sistemi drugih ponudnikov, vendar sam po sebi ne zagotavlja interoperabilnosti teh sistemov.
