A

DICOM

17
Q

______ provide storage and convenient access to medical images such as ultrasounds, MRIs, CTs, and X-rays.

A

PACS

18
Q

_______ consists of files, definitions, and network protocol communication. Files in this format are most likely saved with either a .dcm or .dcm30 (DICOM 3.0) file extension, but some may not have an extension at all

A

DICOM

19
Q

The Basic Functions of DICOM

A
  1. Communication and sharing of digital medical images, regardless of the manufacturer; to enable PACS to become a part of HIS, RIS, and other information systems;
  2. To ensure that the database of medical images become available irrespective of browser distance;
  3. To enable the functioning of teleradiograph
20
Q

DICOM disadvantages arise in:

A
  1. the database and image processing;
  2. Simultaneous display of multiple images on the monitor when the quality of individual images is decreased or certain segments are cut off;
  3. Appearance of false coloring which appears in the adjacent gray level, false coloring in contrasting colors, etc.
