1. HL7 Conformance Statement Overview¶
dcm4che DICOM Archive 5 is a networked computer system used for archiving DICOM objects. It allows external systems to send DICOM objects to it for permanent storage, retrieve information about such objects, and retrieve the DICOM objects themselves. It also provides services to maintain the consistency of patient and ordering information with external systems.
In order to offer these services dcm4che DICOM Archive 5 utilizes and supports different medical communication standards. Apart from DICOM services, which are described in a dedicated Conformance Statement, dcm4che DICOM Archive 5 uses HL7 V2 services to communicate with other medical systems.
