Norwegian standardization effort on medical image interchange.
The Norwegian Computing Center is currently performing a project on standardization in the exchange of medical images and related data, with special emphasis on ultrasound images. The project is performed for Vingmed Sound, a Norwegian manufacturer of ultrasound scanning equipment, and much of the work is done in cooperation with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Trondheim. In the project, we work in close cooperation with the European Standardization Committee, CEN, and also with the DIGICARE (Digital Imaging in Cardiology) group of the European Society of Cardiology. The main aims of the project are to define, from the viewpoint of ultrasound imaging, the user requirements for medical image exchange standard, and to contribute to the development of such a standard.
