3.3 Remarks

The scope of this DICOM Conformance Statement is to facilitate integration between AdvaPACS and other DICOM products. The Conformance Statement should be read and understood in conjunction with the DICOM Standard. DICOM by itself does not guarantee interoperability.

The Conformance Statement does, however, facilitate a first-level comparison for interoperability between different applications supporting compatible DICOM functionality.

This Conformance Statement should not replace validation with other DICOM equipment to ensure proper exchange of intended information. In fact, it is the user's responsibility to perform the following validation activities:

  • The comparison of Conformance Statements from AdvaPACS and other DICOM conformant equipment is the first step towards assessing interconnectivity and interoperability between those systems.
  • Test procedures should be defined and executed to validate the required level of interoperability with specific DICOM conformant equipment, as established by the healthcare facility.
