The driving force behind the DICOM standard is the growing demand from healthcare providers for:

■ Seamless interfaces between instruments and systems from different manufacturers

■ Fluid data and image exchange in real time

■ Centralized review and management of images from all instruments

■ Filmless and paperless hospital environments
