Recent Activities
• JIRA’s DICOM committee are collecting information on cases
in which DICOM did not work. Few companies has submitted
their lists and we reviewed them. Cases are classified into
various categories. A few examples are like below;
– Unable to analyze a response to MWL. This was caused because they
set values to private tags of Film Size ID(2010,0059) and Number of
Films(2100,0170) in Scheduled Protocol Code Sequence(0040,0008).
– Displayed orders of images on a console of a modality and a PACS
workstation are different. This may be caused because DICOM does
not have those information like display order. We do have hanging
protocol, but is it applicable to these cases?
• 36 vendors will participate IHE-J connectathon with 72
systems next year. All domains will be concerned, but the
effort will be focused to radiology. The connectathon will be
held during Feb. 5th through 9th.
Recent Activities-to be continued
• We are requested to translate whole DICOM standards into
Japanese by a committee under METI’s project. The purpose
of this is to increase people who understand what DICOM is
and how we adopt it. As a first step we try to publish a book on
DICOM. We will translate and publish Japanese version of
Herman’s book.
• One of activities in IHE-J arena is for endoscopic examination.
Now, we have developed volume 1 of a technical framework.
We had a meeting with people who are interesting in
endoscopy here, yesterday. As a first step, we will gather at
DDW meeting in Washington, D.C. on May 21, 2007 and
discuss coordination. Because there are various types of
endoscopes like endoscopy, laparoscopy, etc. exist.
