About CEN
The European Committee for Standardization is one of three European Standardization Organizations (together with CENELEC and ETSI) that have been officially recognized by the European Union and by the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) as being responsible for developing and defining voluntary standards at European level.

| Title | Health informatics - Digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) including workflow and data management (ISO 12052:2017) |
| Work Item Number | 00251334 |
| Abstract/Scope | ISO 12052:2017, within the field of health informatics, addresses the exchange of digital images and information related to the production and management of those images, between both medical imaging equipment and systems concerned with the management and communication of that information. ISO 12052:2017 facilitates interoperability of medical imaging equipment by specifying: - for network communications, a set of protocols to be followed by devices claiming conformance to this document; - the syntax and semantics of Commands and associated information which can be exchanged using these protocols; - for media communication, a set of media storage services to be followed by devices claiming conformance to this document, as well as a File Format and a medical directory structure to facilitate access to the images and related information stored on interchange media; - information that is to be supplied with an implementation for which conformance to this document is claimed. ISO 12052:2017 does not specify: - the implementation details of any features of the DICOM standard on a device claiming conformance; - the overall set of features and functions to be expected from a system implemented by integrating a group of devices each claiming conformance to this document; - a testing/validation procedure to assess an implementation's conformance to this document. ISO 12052:2017 pertains to the field of medical informatics. Within that field, it addresses the exchange of digital information between medical imaging equipment and other systems. Because such equipment may interoperate with other medical devices and information systems, the scope of this document needs to overlap with other areas of medical informatics. However, this document does not address the full breadth of this field. ISO 12052:2017 has been developed with an emphasis on diagnostic medical imaging as practiced in radiology, cardiology, pathology, dentistry, ophthalmology and related disciplines, and image-based therapies such as interventional radiology, radiotherapy and surgery. However, it is also applicable to a wide range of image and non-image related information exchanged in clinical, research, veterinary, and other medical environments. ISO 12052:2017 facilitates interoperability of systems claiming conformance in a multi-vendor environment, but does not, by itself, guarantee interoperability. |

|
(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved
(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat
(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level
(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn
(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.
In the case of undated standard, a link to the last dated version is provided.
In the case of series, a link to each standard identified in the series is provided.
We also invite you to check (via the website) whether corrigenda and/or amendments shall be read in conjunction with the main standard.
