The National Electrical Manufacturers Association recently released a significant update of its Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard. DICOM establishes a single language for exchanging medical digital images and related patient information, and allows the interoperability of medical imaging equipment.

Among the 25 additions to the standard are features covering access to medical images via the Internet, new media, USB and flash memory devices, along with functionality for some of the new specialties that use DICOM, such as dentistry, ophthalmology, breast imaging and OB/GYN.
