title: Digital image in cardiology now and for the future.
abstract: Siemens has a logical stepwise approach and employs proven technology. Siemens historically remains focused on efficiently handling image data in the cardiac cath lab as evidenced by: the 1990 introduction of HICOR and timely introduction of ACOM in 1995 together with the extension of the DICOM 3 standard by ACC/NEMA. Today and into the future Siemens is building the strength with the powerful synergy developed between our medical division and computer division (Siemens Nixdorf) to assure even greater success with tomorrow's ACOM.net (Figure 3). Siemens statement: All HICORs can be upgraded with ACOM. All ACOMs can be interfaced to the ACOM net.
