About The Project¶
The DICOM standard is ready for any developer in the orthodontic community to implement. However, it can be complicated and implementation can be time consuming. The DICOM standard is also does not contain an explicit explanation on orthodntic photographs, allowing the developer too much freedom.
This is why we decided to implement ANSI Standard ADA-1107, which defines exactly how to use DICOM to encode orthodontic photographs.
We want to create a proof of concept to demonstrate how to properly store orthodontic visible light images (aka photographs) using DICOM, while ensuring all codes (necessary to uniquely identify each image type) are in the proper place.
Here’s why:
Your time should be focused on creating something amazing.
Being able to import and export DICOM images to and from your orthodontic software will open doors to you and the orthodontic provider.
No one software will serve all orthodontic providers completely. Adding interoperability will allow your product to integrate with others, giving additional value to your solution.
