DICOM

DICOM, or Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine is a standardised file format created to aid the distribution and viewing of medical images. CT scans, MRIs and Ultrasound scans are converted to the standard DICOM format for distribution and processing.

This allows medical viewers such as Perspecta, or Dextroscope to work with a wide range of medical scans, and yet only have a single file format to worry about, ensuring maximum efficiency.

Videogame Derived Medicine
BodyViz is a window-on-world VR that combines the X-box and DICOM medical data for a low end VR solution to 3D medical results.

Plug-and-Play Medical Interlink
For the last 25-30 years, physicians and engineers around the world have been envisaging an interconnected medical network, of which every device is a part. That is what the standards of DICOM and PACS work towards. But what about going further? Not just making the data compatible, but the devices themselves?

Standards > PACS
Picture Archiving and Communications System, or PACS is a digital image standard, used increasingly in medicine. A basic level standard, it is often in place before more advanced standards like DICOM.

Form Fitting Prosthetics Using DICOM Data
The LayerWise jaw, fitted to its first and last human patient. It is a first in prosthetics, because it was tailor made to the skull of the patient who so badly needed it, and the last one ever to be made to fit that skull.
