As someone who just struggled through writing a DICOM parser, _standardized_ doesn't always mean the same. For more examples, see RETS in the real estate world :)

For those curious:

- Some RETS recorded requests/responses: https://github.com/estately/rets/blob/master/test/vcr_casset...

(Basically some XML-based (SOAP?), cookie + authorization, that seems very ASP.net / Windows Server centric)

- DICOM ("It includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICOM

It's basically how to imaging devices communicate and store the images.

Image examples: http://www.osirix-viewer.com/resources/dicom-image-library/

A video of what a doctor would see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prb5lcR8Jqw

TCP-based protocol in Wireshark: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Protocols/dicom

I wrote a little .dcm to .jpg based on ruby-dicom BTW: https://gist.github.com/Dorian/9e3eb5891b49926c15a05c641ffef...

- PACS seems just like a database model basically http://mehmetsen80.github.io/EasyPACS/

It's the server that is gonna give the info to the doctors.

It's interesting how there seems to be only one popular viewer: OsiriX
