Abstract
|
|
|
Information Technology has extended its scope to the medical field as well as dental field. Like medical field, network system for dental field requires acquisition, storage, and display of images. However, unlike the medical field, the system to integrate several information including medical images has not been developed according to industrial standard for management of digital image for medical use, so called DICOM conformance, which makes the digital environment in dental field more and more difficult and expensive for this standardization and comfortable communication in LAN and WAN.
To solve this problem, the DICOM encoder and server has to be developed because the DICOM file can be easily retrieved with patient’s information from the DICOM server in the system as DICOM file has the standard specification to integrate the patient’s information. The information including image and other discrete data can be easily integrated in DICOM file and can be used without any difficulty for precise diagnosis and for contribution to the decision making for each treatment protocol.
Therefore, the system composed of DICOM encoder and server in dental practice for DICOM file must be developed with prudent consideration of the several strategic factors:
i) Enhanced diagnostic capability through the integrated information of image and clinical data.
ii) Clinician-friendly interface to simulate the systemic treatment procedure in clinical practice
iii) Implementation of multidisciplinary treatment protocol
The development of DICOM encoder and server based on these strategic considerations will provide paperless and filmless hospital environments by the seamless integration and management of patient’s history, several clinical data and clinical images through image processing for quantitative analysis. The system also allows clinicians to provide more predictable dental care for the patients
