本报告提供了基于DICOM标准的技术规范，适用于牙科，目的是: 提高机构数字射线照相系统内部和之间的互操作性。本报告将通过高级交互用例说明如何实现典型牙科成像任务的互操作性。它们是:（1）在可移动媒体上查看和打印图像；（2） 创建可互操作的可移动媒体映像；（3） 在各种联网的多供应商存储和采集系统之间共享图像；（4） 能够在牙科图像采集环境中交换可见光照片和内窥镜图像；（5） 创建和交换DICOM结构化显示对象；（6） 执行预定工作流程，将数字图像与电子牙科记录系统集成；（7） 将机构外的图像导入电子牙科记录系统并进行核对；（8） 通过电子邮件安全传输DICOM图像；（9） 通过互联网本地访问DICOM图像。 这些用例在上下文中显示了DICOM需求，并以与牙科提供者的临床任务的明确关系来描述它们。

This report provides a technical specification based on the DICOM Standard as it applies to dentistry with the goal of increasing interoperability within and between institutional digital radiographic systems. This report will illustrate through high-level interaction use cases how to achieve interoperability for typical dental imaging tasks. They are:(1) view and print images on removable media;(2) create interoperable removable media images;(3) share images among various networked multi-vendor storage and acquisition systems;(4) ability to exchange visible light photographic and endoscopic images within a dental image acquisition context;(5) create and exchange DICOM structured display objects;(6) perform scheduled workflow to integrate digital images with an electronic dental records system;(7) import and reconcile Images from outside the institution into the electronic dental records system;(8) securely transfer DICOM images via email, and;(9) access DICOM images locally via the Internet.These use cases show the DICOM requirements in context, describing them in clear relationship to the clinical tasks of the dental provider.
