SimpleDICOM Suite: Personal Productivity Tools for Managing DICOM Objects

Barton F. Branstetter, IV, MD, Steven D. Uttecht, BS, David M. Lionetti, BArch, and Paul J. Chang, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, 200 Lothrop St, PUH Room D132, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (B.F.B., S.D.U., D.M.L.); and the Departments of Radiology and Pathology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill (P.J.C.). Presented as an infoRAD exhibit at the 2005 RSNA Annual Meeting. Received July 24, 2006; revision requested November 15 and received January 2, 2007; accepted February 12. S.D.U. received research funding from Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV (Stentor); P.J.C. is a cofounder of Stentor; neither remaining author has any financial relationships to disclose. Address correspondence to B.F.B. (e-mail: bfb1{at}pitt.edu).

Commercial picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are adept at supporting mainstream radiology work flow, but radiologists frequently encounter situations requiring additional functionality. For example, the incorporation of foreign or nonradiologic images and the deidentification of examinations for research purposes are useful tasks that do not fall within the purview of most commercial PACS. A suite of free, downloadable, vendor-independent software programs designed as PACS add-ons, the SimpleDICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Suite, has been developed to aid radiologists in performing these tasks. Clinically relevant software design and informed administrative decisions during deployment allow optimal function of this software suite, which is available for download from the Internet.
