3、facilitates the interoperability of ultrasonicimaging equipment by specifying image data transfer andarchival storage methods in commonly accepted terms.Thisdocument is intended to be used in conjunction with PracticeE2339 on Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestruc-tive Evaluation(DICONDE).P
4、ractice E2339 defines an indus-trial adaptation of the NEMA Standards Publication titledDigital Imaging and Communications in Medicine(DICOM,see http:/medical.nema.org),an international standard forimage data acquisition,review,transfer and archival storage.The goal of Practice E2339,commonly referr
5、ed to asDICONDE,is to provide a standard that facilitates the displayand analysis of NDE test results on any system conforming tothe DICONDE standard.Toward that end,Practice E2339provides a data dictionary and set of information modules thatare applicable to all NDE modalities.This practice supple-
6、ments Practice E2339 by providing information objectdefinitions,information modules and data dictionary that arespecific to ultrasonic test methods.1.2 This practice has been developed to overcome the issuesthat arise when analyzing or archiving data from ultrasonic testequipment using proprietary d
7、ata transfer and storage methods.As digital technologies evolve,data must remain decipherablethrough the use of open,industry-wide methods for datatransfer and archival storage.This practice defines a methodwhere all the ultrasonic technique parameters and test resultsare communicated and stored in
8、a standard format regardless ofchanges in digital technology.1.3 This practice does not specify:1.3.1 A testing or validation procedure to assess an imple-mentations conformance to the standard.1.3.2 The implementation details of any features of thestandard on a device claiming conformance.1.3.3 The
9、 overall set of features and functions to be ex-pected from a system implemented by integrating a group ofdevices each claiming DICONDE conformance.1.4 Although this practice contains no values that requireunits,it does describe methods to store and communicate datathat do require units to be proper
10、ly 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 address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard t
