The DICOM standard has allowed image acquisition devices, radiology workstations and storage archives to communicate. However, image archives are usually not accessible for teaching applications unless expensive proprietary viewers are purchased to run on faculty members' personal computers. We describe how to set up a Windows 95 based DICOM server, using DigitalJacket. The server receives images from our department's CT and MRI scanners. The server saves images in standard Windows file directories on the computer's hard disk, organized by patient name, as either individual DICOM images, or as PAPYRUS files. These files can be easily viewed with OSIRIS, a free program, downloadable from the Internet. Faculty, from their own personal computers, can view studies with OSIRIS, and save them to the TIFF (Tagged Interchange File Format) format, which is compatible with a variety of personal computer applications. We describe several uses of this setup, including case conferences, presentations, and search.
Learning Objectives:
1. Setting up a Windows 95 based DICOM server using DigitalJacket.
2. Accessing images saved by the DICOM server with OSIRIS.
3. Converting images with OSIRIS to a format (TIFF) usable for teaching purposes
(case conferences, presentations, etc.).
