Abstract

The ACR-NEMA Digital Imaging and Communications Standards Committee has published its Standard for an interface to medical imaging equipment. Various groups are now working on implementing this Standard, and the need for an exchange medium other than the electrical one of the Standard was forseen as necessary for software development. Working Group V was formed to examine this issue, and proposed to work first on a magnetic tape standard as magnetic tape drives are present on many imaging devices. The message format of the Standard was felt to be readily adaptable to magnetic tape. The physical specification has been chosen to conform to the ANSI standards for unrecorded and recorded magnetic tape, The logical specification is being developed with an attempt to adhere to the ANSI Standard for Magnetic Tape Labels and File Structure (1). This paper will discuss the reasons for developing a new format instead of using existing image interchange standards, explain the need for, and problems raised by tape directories, and explain the tape Standard as it currently exists.
