2-3-4-3 Purpose of the DICOM Network Function
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) services provide the operator with clinically
useful features for moving images and patient information over a hospital network.
Examples of DICOM services include the transfer of images to workstations for viewing or transferring
images to remote printers. As an added benefit, transferring images in this manner frees up the on-
board monitor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be done while scanning continues.
With DICOM, images can be archived, stored, and retrieved faster, easier, and at a lower cost.
