"Maximizing the DICOM Standard for Digital Pathology Routing, Ingesting, and Storing"

A Dicom Systems and Pure Storage White Paper

Adopting the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard in pathology has typically been driven by the crucial need for interoperability among various slide scanners and IT systems. The DICOM standard offers superior performance in displaying, viewing, and storing images, achieved by dividing large images into smaller tiles stored in two- dimensional arrays. This method allows for faster image retrieval by enabling quick access to specific sub-regions without loading extensive data. Digital Whole Slide Images (WSI) management has many pathology organizations seeking scalable, simple, and cost-optimized solutions experienced in DICOM and non-DICOM.

Processing digitized pathology slides into DICOM format and routing the images across the organization significantly affects the network and the DICOM application handling that traffic. Bottlenecks may arise from processing, routing, transformation, and impact of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms used in imaging workflows. Multiple factors contribute to these challenges, such as complex imaging workflows, disparate systems operating in varied environments, outdated enterprise imaging platforms, or inadequate data storage for high-volume imaging.
