Critical Review
• X. Lu and M. Zhang, Research and Implementation
of Medical Images Management System Based on
DICOM Standard. Advances in Biomedical
Engineering, Vol. 9, 2012
Project Overview and Motivation
Determine the feasibility of using binary DICOM for
building browser based medical imaging applications
• Project Goal
Develop a zero-footprint client that reads and writes
binary DICOM and displays it using HTML5, CSS, and Dart.
• Motivation
Need an understanding of DICOM structure and what it
means to parse a DICOM study.
Need to create a system architecture that allows us to
quickly deliver requested materials to the endpoint user.
Introduction and Goal of Paper
• “Discuss how to transmit and query the medical images
within LAN, and present a novel medical images
management system based on the DICOM standard.”
• High level overview of algorithms and architecture of
their system.
• Materials and Methods
• Storage Method
• Database structure
• System architecture
• Extracting image information from DICOM files
• Transmission of DICOM file
• Implementation of query and search functions

• As an example:
What is parsing?
• Definition
To analyze a string of characters in order to associate
groups of characters with the syntactic units of the
underlying grammar.
• How do we parse Binary DICOM?
