Component body

Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a standard for storing and transmitting medical images enabling the integration of medical imaging devices such as scanners, servers, workstations, printers, network hardware, and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) from multiple manufacturers. It has been widely adopted by hospitals, and is making inroads into smaller applications like dentists' and doctors' offices.

This module will allows to:

  • convert dicom image for display within drupal, e.g. as a jpeg
  • extract the metadata from the dicom file as CCK fields that are then searchable
