DICOM question

[Martin Weihrauch]

I made a typo:

I meant: Is it possible according to DICOM to store all zoom levels into a single FILE (not slide).

Thx

Dear community,



we implemented the capability for DICOM in our Image Management System for our customers a while ago. What I personally hate is the multi-file-format, which most (all?) vendors seem to have implemented, which is in essence one DICOM file per zoom level. In an environment where appr. 1,000 slides are scanned per day, image management just becomes messier (you cannot convince me otherwise 😉).



I read the NEMA standard, but did not find, if storing everything in a single slide would also be in agreement with the DICOM standard.



Does someone have more insight into this or has someone maybe even implemented a converter (multi to single file DICOM)?

Best and have a great Euro-championship,

Martin
