doc ver 2.7 11
1.2 Intended Audience
The reader of this document is concerned with software design and/or system integration
issues. It is assumed that the reader of this document is familiar with the DICOM v3.0
Standards and with the terminology and concepts which are used in those Standards.
If readers are unfamiliar with DICOM v3.0 terminology they should first refer to the
document listed below, then read the DICOM v3.0 Standard itself, prior to reading this
DICOM Conformance Statement document.
Introduction to the Integrated DICOM/Network v3.0 (ID/Net v3.0)
Conformance Statement
Direction: 2118780
1.3 Scope and Field of Application
It is the intent of this document, in conjunction with the Introduction to the Integrated
DICOM/Network v3.0 (ID/Net v3.0) Conformance Statement, Direction: 2118780, to
provide an unambiguous specification for GEMS implementations. This specification,
called a Conformance Statement, includes a DICOM v3.0 Conformance Statement and is
necessary to ensure proper processing and interpretation of GEMS medical data
exchanged using DICOM v3.0. The GEMS Conformance Statements are available to the
public.
The reader of this DICOM Conformance Statement should be aware that different GEMS
devices are capable of using different Information Object Definitions. For example, a
GEMS CT Scanner may send images using the CT Information Object, MR Information
Object, Secondary Capture Object, etc.
Included in this DICOM Conformance Statement are the Module Definitions which define
all data elements used by this GEMS implementation. If the user encounters unspecified
private data elements while parsing a GEMS Data Set, the user is well advised to ignore
those data elements (per the DICOM v3.0 standard). Unspecified private data element
information is subject to change without notice. If, however, the device is acting as a "full
fidelity storage device", it should retain and re-transmit all of the private data elements
which are sent by GEMS devices.
