Image standardization Clause Samples

Image standardization. Tomographic 3D images (CT, MRI, PET, SPECT) will be available in DICOM standard format, this file format includes information about image resolution, orientation and image acquisition modality characteristics. Standardized acquisition protocols (WP3, Task 3.1) will be used in order to optimise the image fusion process. The independency of the DICOM image format, allows to store images in any DICOM image manager component of a modern PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and to retrieve them by standardized DICOM clients, independently from the used platform (Windows, Macintosh, UNIX).
