This white paper shows how the different tools such as sniffers and active test applications can be used for DICOM troubleshooting. It provides details about one specific tool which functions as a DICOM modality simulator: OTDICE.

Remote service which accesses patient information needs to make sure that the same patient privacy and security rules are obeyed as are applicable for those working directly with the equipment in an institution. This is possible by setting up routers and secure connections from the remote service centers to the equipment to be accessed as described by the NEMA Security and Privacy Committee.

This article shows the DICOM security implementations such as the use of TLS, Digital Signatures, and Attribute level confidentiality.

This power point presentation shows the implementation in the DICOM standard for Security through proper Authentication, data integrity and Confidentiality using TLS as well as digital signatures.

This scientific publication describes the DICOM levels, the relations hip between the DICOM transactions and a typical scenario, the DICOM parts of the standard and lists the various working groups that work on the different imaging domains.
