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.
