title: The JAVA-based DICOM query interface DicoSE.
abstract: DICOM 3 is a very elaborate standard for the communication between medical image devices. It is published in several parts by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). To adequately visualize the data structure defined in parts 3, 5 and 6 of the DICOM standard, we implemented the web based Dicom Search Engine (DicoSE). It allows for querying the DICOM standard data dictionary for defined data fields and visualizes the topology of the data which is inherently present in DICOM datasets. For the administration of the underlying data a web based administration interface is provided. The service is entirely based on freely available software.
