1、Designation:E233915Standard Practice forDigital Imaging and Communication in NondestructiveEvaluation(DICONDE)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2339;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last
2、 revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This practice facilitates the interoperab
3、ility of NDEimaging and data acquisition equipment by specifying theimage data in commonly accepted terms.This practice repre-sents a harmonization of NDE imaging systems,or modalities,with the NEMA Standards Publication titled Digital Imagingand Communications in Medicine(DICOM,see http:/medical.ne
4、ma.org),an international standard for image dataacquisition,review,storage and archival.In addition,thispractice will provide a standard set of industrial NDE specificinformation object definitions,which travel beyond the scopeof standard DICOM modalities.The goal of this practice is toprovide a sta
5、ndard by which NDE image/signal data may bedisplayed on by any system conforming to the ASTM DI-CONDE format,regardless of which NDE modality was usedto acquire the data.1.2 This practice has been developed to overcome the issuesthat arise when archiving or analyzing the data from a varietyof NDE te
6、chniques,each using proprietary data acquisitionsystems.As data acquisition modalities evolve,data acquiredin the past must remain decipherable.This practice proposes animage data file format in such a way that all the techniqueparameters,along with the image file,are preserved,regardlessof changes
7、in NDE technology.This practice will also permitthe viewing of a variety of image types(CT,CR,Ultrasonic,Infrared and Eddy Current)on a single workstation,maintain-ing all of the pertinent technique parameters along with theimage file.This practice addresses the exchange of digitalinformation betwee
8、n NDE imaging equipment.1.3 This practice does not specify:1.3.1 A complete description of all the information neces-sary to implement the DICONDE standard for an imagingmodality.This document must be used in conjunction with oneof the method-specific DICONDE Standard Practice docu-ments to complete
9、ly describe all the requirements necessary toimplement the DICONDE standard for an imaging modality.See Section 2.1 of this document for a current list of themethod-specific standard practice documents.1.3.2 A testing or validation procedure to assess an imple-mentations conformance to the standard.
10、1.3.3 The implementation details of any features of thestandard on a device claiming conformance.1.3.4 The overall set of features and functions to be ex-pected from a system implemented by integrating a group ofdevices each claiming DICONDE or DICOM conformance.1.4 Although this practice contains n
11、o values that requireunits,it does describe methods to store and communicate datathat do require units to be properly interpreted.The SI unitsrequired by this practice are to be regarded as standard.Noother units of measurement are included in this standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to addr
12、ess all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E1316 Terminology
