A.2 Table of Contents
The table of contents will be provided to assist readers in easily finding the needed information.
A.3 Introduction
The introduction specifies product and relevant disclaimers as well as any general information that the vendor feels is appropriate.
The following subsections are suggested:
A.3.1 Revision History
The revision history provides dates and differences of the different releases of the product and the Conformance Statement.
A.3.2 Audience
The audience is specified with their assumed pre-knowledge. The following example may be used as a template:
This document is written for the people that need to understand how <Product Name> will integrate into their healthcare facility. This includesboththoseresponsibleforoverallimagingnetworkpolicyandarchitecture,aswellasintegratorswhoneedtohaveadetailed understanding of the DICOM features of the product. This document contains some basic DICOM definitions so that any reader may understand how this product implements DICOM features. However, integrators are expected to fully understand all the DICOM ter- minology, how the tables in this document relate to the product's functionality, and how that functionality integrates with other devices that support compatible DICOM features.
A.3.3 Remarks
Any important remarks, disclaimers, and general information are specified. The following example may be used as a template:
The scope of this DICOM Conformance Statement is to facilitate integration between <Product Name> and other DICOM products. The Conformance Statement should be read and understood in conjunction with the DICOM Standard. DICOM by itself does not guarantee interoperability. The Conformance Statement does, however, facilitate a first-level comparison for interoperability between different applications supporting compatible DICOM functionality.
ThisConformanceStatementisnotsupposedtoreplacevalidationwithotherDICOMequipmenttoensureproperexchangeofintended information. In fact, the user should be aware of the following important issues:
•The comparison of different Conformance Statements is just the first step towards assessing interconnectivity and interoperability between the product and other DICOM conformant equipment.
•Test procedures should be defined and executed to validate the required level of interoperability with specific compatible DICOM equipment, as established by the healthcare facility.
If the product has an IHE Integration Statement, the following statement may be applicable:
<Product Name> has participated in an industry-wide testing program sponsored by Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). The IHE Integration Statement for <Product Name>, together with the IHE Technical Framework, may facilitate the process of validation testing.
A.3.4 Terms and Definitions
Terms and definitions should be listed here. The following example may be used as a template:

The Attributes may be specified as Mandatory (Type 1), Required but possibly unknown (Type |

|
(Types 1C and 2C). Examples: MR Image IOD, CT Image IOD, Print Job IOD. |

A set of standardized image compression techniques, available for use by DICOM applications. |

Media Application Profile |
The specification of DICOM information objects and encoding exchanged on removable media |
|
(e.g., CDs). |

A set of Attributes within an Information Object Definition that are logically related to each other. |
|

data to be exchanged and how that data will be encoded. |
Presentation Context |
ThesetofDICOMnetworkservicesusedoveranAssociation,asnegotiatedbetweenApplication |

Protocol Data Unit (PDU) |
A packet (piece) of a DICOM message sent across the network. Devices must specify the |
|
maximum size packet they can receive for DICOM messages. |
Security Profile |
A set of mechanisms, such as encryption, user authentication, or digital signatures, used by an |
|
Application Entity to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of exchanged DICOM |
|
data. |
Service Class Provider (SCP) |
Role of an Application Entity that provides a DICOM network service; typically, a server that |
|
performs operations requested by another Application Entity (Service Class User). Examples: |
|
Picture Archiving and Communication System (image storage SCP, and image query/retrieve |
|
SCP), Radiology Information System (modality worklist SCP). |
Service Class User (SCU) |
Role of an Application Entity that uses a DICOM network service; typically, a client. Examples: |
|
imaging modality (image storage SCU, and modality worklist SCU), imaging workstation (image |
|
query/retrieve SCU). |

A 32-bit identifier for a data element, represented as a pair of four digit hexadecimal numbers, |

|
Value Representation (VR) |
The format type of an individual DICOM data element, such as text, an integer, a person's name, |
|
|
or a code. DICOM information objects can be transmitted with either explicit identification of the |
|
|
type of each data element (Explicit VR), or without explicit identification (Implicit VR); with Implicit |
|
VR, the receiving application must use a DICOM data dictionary to look up the format of each data element.
A.3.5 Basics of DICOM Communication
A layman's introduction to DICOM may be included here. The following example may be used as a template:
ThissectiondescribesterminologyusedinthisConformanceStatementforthenon-specialist.ThekeytermsusedintheConformance Statement are highlighted in italics below. This section is not a substitute for training about DICOM, and it makes many simplifications about the meanings of DICOM terms.
Two Application Entities (devices) that want to communicate with each other over a network using DICOM protocol must first agree on several things during an initial network "handshake". One of the two devices must initiate an Association (a connection to the other device), and ask if specific services, information, and encoding can be supported by the other device (Negotiation).
DICOM specifies a number of network services and types of information objects, each of which is called an Abstract Syntax for the Negotiation. DICOM also specifies a variety of methods for encoding data, denoted Transfer Syntaxes. The Negotiation allows the initiating Application Entity to propose combinations of Abstract Syntax and Transfer Syntax to be used on the Association; these combinations are called Presentation Contexts. The receiving Application Entity accepts the Presentation Contexts it supports.
For each Presentation Context, the Association Negotiation also allows the devices to agree on Roles - which one is the Service Class User (SCU - client) and which is the Service Class Provider (SCP - server). Normally the device initiating the connection is the SCU, i.e., the client system calls the server, but not always.
The Association Negotiation finally enables exchange of maximum network packet (PDU) size, security information, and network service options (called Extended Negotiation information).
TheApplicationEntities,havingnegotiatedtheAssociationparameters,maynowcommenceexchangingdata.Commondataexchanges includequeriesforworklistsandlistsofstoredimages,transferofimageobjectsandanalyses(structuredreports),andsendingimages to film printers. Each exchangeable unit of data is formatted by the sender in accordance with the appropriate Information Object Definition, and sent using the negotiated Transfer Syntax. There is a Default Transfer Syntax that all systems must accept, but it may not be the most efficient for some use cases. Each transfer is explicitly acknowledged by the receiver with a Response Status indic- ating success, failure, or that query or retrieve operations are still in process.
TwoApplicationEntitiesmayalsocommunicatewitheachotherbyexchangingmedia(suchasaCD-R).SincethereisnoAssociation Negotiation possible, they both use a Media Application Profile that specifies "pre-negotiated" exchange media format, Abstract Syntax, and Transfer Syntax.
