This paper elaborates on the available standard protocols and formats that support viewing use cases, but does not address the tools necessary for user interaction or specific to a particular clinical use, nor such issues as color consistency, speed and responsiveness, appropriate choice of display hardware, or the importance of the viewing environment, whether for desktop or mobile devices. The companion white paper on enterprise viewing provides a high level overview of the requirements, technical challenges, and solutions for query and retrieval of images for display. It also reviews alternative methods of managing these images and their associated information (metadata), and the common types of systems used. This paper provides insight into the type of devices, formats, and standards involved, along with the associated metadata needs and communication protocols for transfer.
It does not address several other areas that might well be considered appropriate candidates for inclusion, but which have highly specific workflow requirements and are reviewed elsewhere, specifically radiotherapy and dentistry.
The primary area of focus is the inclusion of visible light imaging into an enterprise imaging strategy together with radiology and cardiology, such as might be found in clinical (as opposed to research) use in a typical large adult or pediatric patient care facility, or an integrated group of ambulatory facilities that share a common infrastructure. It focuses on describing and solving the technical challenges of enterprise imaging, and does not dwell on the rationale for enterprise imaging except to the extent that the use cases illustrate the technology.
