One thing I’ve never quite understood is the reluctance of certain doctors to provide medical imaging to patients in a digital format.

As someone with interests in photography, programming, data, and my own health, I find the RAW-like DICOM image file format fascinating. So, even if it comes on a CD-R and costs 2500 JPY, I always try to get my own medial imagery whenever possible. (These are also extremely helpful to have in advance if an issue recurs and you need to show the progression to a new clinic.)

I’ve had good luck getting endoscopy, X-ray, and MRI data over the years, but the doctor at the colonoscopy clinic today was a hard no. They’ll only provide the photos they took of the inside of my own body to another doctor, not to me, myself, the subject in question.

(They did provide a printout of a few key moments for my reference. Why this is available when the actual image data is not remains a mystery to me.)

DICOM-rs 0.9.0 is here! While this one was mainly focused on introducing necessary API changes, some new features are worth highlighting: reading and writing deflated datasets, adjustments to data set writing for reliability, an improved upper layer protocol stack, and a new DICOM object trait which works for different types of objects.

come dico sempre: non ho quasi nessuna competenza informatica, e con cinque minuti di ricerca ho trovato https://mangoviewer.com/mango.html . in pochi secondi ho visto tutto per benino. quindi: perché accidenti non installare linux nei computer di lavoro in ambito sanitario, dato che si riducono ad essere usati solo per le cartelle elettroniche con accesso browser (sempre e solo chrome) e per app come teams e per leggere i referti dei pazienti?

Just released DICOM-rs 0.8.2! DICOM-rs is an ecosystem of DICOM libraries and tools for the next generation of medical imaging systems.

This new revision brings a wide array of backward-compatible contributions. A major release is already in the works as we pave the way for v0.9.0, but until then, version 0.8.2 already offers some interesting features, including a new API to read DICOM data in small parts, and several improvements to pixel data decoding.

https://crates.io/crates/dicom-dump is an excellent #cli utility to extract data from #dicom files. You can extract data as #json.

And it is much faster than popular #python utility out there. Written in #rust 😛

PACS и ИИ: от внедрения до интеграции машинного обучения в российском здравоохранении

PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) — это не просто софт. Это нервная система медицинской визуализации, которая собирает, архивирует и распределяет DICOM-данные между всеми участниками медицинского процесса. А внедрение PACS в реальном здравоохранении — это смесь инженерии, логистики, дипломатии и кризис-менеджмента. Представьте, что вы врач-радиолог. Каждый день вы просматриваете сотни медицинских изображений, ища признаки заболеваний, травм или аномалий. Но как эти изображения попадают к вам? Как они сохраняются и передаются между больницами? Ответ кроется в стандарте DICOM и системе PACS. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) — это не просто формат файлов, это целая экосистема для медицинской визуализации. Представьте его как универсальный язык, на котором говорят все медицинские устройства: от рентгеновских аппаратов до МРТ-сканеров. Каждый DICOM файл — это не просто картинка, а целая история пациента, закодированная в цифровом виде. Когда пациент проходит обследование, оборудование создает не только само изображение, но и записывает массу дополнительной информации: кто пациент, когда проводилось исследование, на каком оборудовании, с какими настройками. Все это упаковывается в DICOM файл вместе с пиксельными данными. Получается своеобразная медицинская капсула времени — полная картина того, что происходило в момент исследования. Когда мы говорим об интеграции машинного обучения в медицинскую диагностику, PACS становится естественной точкой входа для ИИ-алгоритмов. В этой статье я расскажу о практическом опыте внедрения PACS в масштабах, сопоставимых с федеральным проектом, и о том, как мы интегрировали ИИ-диагностику в эту систему.

Der IHE Europe Connectathon ist nur was für Programmiererinnen und Programmierer? Weit gefehlt. Die mittlerweile eine Woche andauernde Connectathon Week beinhaltet weit mehr. Vom 23. bis 27 Juni dreht sich in Wien alles um Interoperabiltät der IT Systeme, EHDS und ELGA Bilddatenaustausch.

In GIMP 3.0, when you export an image you can edit the image metadata. GIMP 3.0 now supports DICOM image metadata.

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard protocol and file format used for storing, transmitting, and handling medical images and related data.

Orthanc 1.12.7 and its Whole-Slide Imaging plugin 3.2 are now available! These maintenance updates include multiple improvements. See the full release notes for details: https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/whole-slide-imaging-plugin-3-2/ #DICOM

Standard #dicom : mi domando come sia possibile che nel 2025 quando vai a fare una #radiografia o #risonanza come referto immagine diano ancora I DVD/CD !

Basterebbe inviare o rendere disponibile al paziente su fascicolo cloud et similia il file dicom completo, sono 200/300 MB al massimo

Il 99% delle persone, compresi molti medici e strutture, non ha più i lettori DVD/CD e si inquina a stampare ancora supporti ottici per queste cose, invece di default ancora vanno col supporto fisico

⚠️ MicroDicom fixed a certificate validation vulnerability (CVSS v3: 5.7) in its #DICOM viewer that #Team82 disclosed. Attackers on the network with privileges could alter network traffic and carry out a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. MicroDicom advises updating to version 2025.1. More info: https://claroty.com/team82/disclosure-dashboard

⚠️ Medixant recommends users update implementations of the RadiAnt #DICOM Viewer to address a certificate validation vulnerability disclosed by #Team82. The viewer's update mechanism in version 2024.02 fails to verify the update's server's certificate. An attacker could leverage this to carry out a man-in-the-middle attack. Users should update to version 2025.1. More info: https://claroty.com/team82/disclosure-dashboard/cve-2025-1001

@Mek90 Der Viewer, der den meisten #DICOM CDs beiliegt - und teilweise auch in den herunterladbaren ZIPs enthalten ist leider immer seltener!) - ist ein guter Start und reicht auch für's schnelle Angucken.

Wenn Dich sowas interessiert und Du mehr machen möchtest, z.B. Einzelbilder oder ganze Serien drucken/exportieren und viel mehr Einstellmöglichkeiten wie Bildkontrast, Videogeschwindigkeiten usw. usw., dann solltest Du Dir mal den WEASIS Viewer angucken. Herrlich!

It is a very popular clinical viewer used in healthcare by hospitals, health networks, multicenter research trials, and patients.

Die WebSite ist in englischer Sprache gestaltet, den Viewer selbst kannst Du Dir nach Deinem Geschmack auf gewünschte Sprache, Auflösung und Optik/Farben der Oberfläche einstellen.

Ich selbst nutze das Teil nun (damals durch Zufall entdeckt) seit Mitte 2021, damals noch unter Ubuntu, Probleme gab es bis heute nie. Selbst jetzt auf OpenSuse Tumbleweed läufts rund und - viel wichtiger, finde ich - stabil.

Ach so, falls Du Windows nutzt: Dafür gibts beim WinziWeich Store auch was. Hab mich eben grad mühsam durchgerungen (😎), dort mal eben nachzugucken:

Das nur mal so, falls es Dich interessiert. Oder andere. :wink:
