DICOM standard ("Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine"), which was first published in 1993, has become widely accepted.
The beginnings of the standard
Since the 1970s, when computed tomography was introduced as the first digital modality, the importance of digital medical image processing has increased permanently. The emerging idea of a digital image archive (PACS) and electronic image distribution in a hospital created the need to exchange digital images between medical devices of different manufacturers.
