Standardization of image exchange for dentistry using DICOM

The standardization of images for the purpose of exchange, both on-line and using removable media, for dentistry has made a major step forward through the standardization in DICOM of a new media exchange application profile. This profile is expected to be added to the standard in the summer of 2004 and will greatly improve the compatibility between the systems used at dentistry offices and institutions. In addition, use cases are defined to aid in defining integration profiles for Dentistry.
