DICOM Administrative Information
• DICOM is also ISO 12052.
• The most recent published version, Supplements,
Change Items, etc. remain at NEMA
• MITA (Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance)
• is the new name for the medical division of NEMA.
• 2008 Version is published

Multiframe Image SOP Classes
• Multiframe objects to support 1000+ slice studies
• Image header supports functional group attributes
changing during acquisition
• Dimensions allow multiple views of data
• Common structure used for all new image IODs
• Sup 110 Ophthalmic Coherence Tomography (Adopted
August 2007)
• Sup 116 3-D X-ray (Adopted January 2007)
• Sup 117 Enhanced PET (in Letter Ballot)
• Sup 43 Enhanced Ultrasound (in Public Comment)
• Sup 125 Breast Tomosynthesis (in Public Comment)

Sup 119 Frame Level Retrieve
• If we have 1000+ slice image objects, how do we access
the slice identified in the report as the Key Image?
• Or, how to access a short video clip of a long endoscopy video
image object?
• Many similar use cases needing one frame or a small subset of
frames from large multiframe image
• Purpose of retrieval may not be diagnostic; compression OK
• Proposed new Retrieve SOP Classes for subsets of
frames
• Request can include a preferred transfer syntax (i.e., type of
compression)
• Returned object is a derived image with the requested subset of
frames, but with a different Instance UID

Sup 43 Ultrasound
• Pixel frames may
represent echo power,
doppler shift, or
doppler variance
• Multiple frames (up to
3) can be blended for
proper display
• An enhanced blending
pipeline is required to
render images

Sup 111 Segmentation Image
• Derived image object
• Multiframe, using functional group mechanism
• Multiple segments per object
• Each segment linked to a categorization
• Pixels show presence of category at pixel location
• Binary (1-bit/pixel) or fractional (probability or occupancy)
• Segments can be 2-D or 3-D
• 3-D segmentation is typically in same Frame of Reference
as source image
• Segments can be displayed as overlays on source image
Adopted August 2006

SPIE February 2008, San Diego
Sup 132 Surface Segmentation
• Segmentation using 3-D surface mesh (rather
than voxel volume)
• First use of mesh technology in DICOM
• Will also be used for future volumetric work, including
implant specification and surgical planning

Sup 112 Deformable Spatial Registration
• Composite Object that supports multi-image
alignment
• 3 step algorithm
• Pre-deformation matrix transform
• Deformation using 3D grid of 3D deformation vectors
• Post-deformation matrix transform
• Facilitates further image processing, especially
multi-modality image fusion and image pasting
applications
Adopted August 2006

SPIE February 2008, San Diego
Structured Reporting
• Additional Templates for standard SR SOP Classes
• Sup 128 Cardiac Stress Testing (Frozen Draft – passed Ballot,
awaiting final SNOMED and IEEE codes)
• Sup 129 Cardiac Electrophysiology (in Public Comment)

Sup 107 Substance Administration
• Patient safety issue – “five rights” checking for contrast agents
• Point of use verification for substances often “out of the loop” of hospital
pharmacy systems
• Three new DICOM services
• Typically Modality as SCU interacting with HIS via gateway SCP
• Query: Look up product characteristics
• Given a barcode ID (from contrast agent bottle), get name, active
ingredient, concentration, etc.
• Query: Get substance administration approval
• Based on agent, patient, route of administration; get approval or warnings
• Report contrast used to HIS Medication Administration Record
Adopted January 2007
