The incorporation of digital systems into medical and dental practice has necessitated development of a standard that allows reliable transmission of information between the devices taking the images, devices storing the images, and devices displaying the images. This standard is termed as DICOM. The following article briefly reviews how DICOM came about, how dentistry is involved, the various elements that are part of the DICOM system, and how DICOM is currently used in dentistry. 7 31 2015 330 336 TODENTJ-9-330 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2014-10-7 2015-1-17 2015-5-25 2015-7-31 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601509010330 1553505882 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/9/PAGE/330/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-330/TODENTJ-9-330.xml Oral Surg.
