3、cifying image data transferand archival 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).Practice E2339 defines an indus-trial adaptation of the NEMA Standards Publicat
4、ion titledDigital Imaging and Communications in Medicine(DICOM,see http:/medical.nema.org),an international standard forimage data acquisition,review,storage and archival storage.The goal of Practice E2339,commonly referred to asDICONDE,is to provide a standard that facilitates the displayand analys
5、is of NDE results on any system conforming to theDICONDE standard.Toward that end,Practice E2339 providesa data dictionary and a set of information modules that areapplicable to all NDE modalities.This practice supplementsPractice E2339 by providing information object definitions,information modules
6、 and a data dictionary that are specific todigital X-ray test methods.1.2 This practice has been developed to overcome the issuesthat arise when analyzing or archiving data from digital X-raytest equipment using proprietary data transfer and storagemethods.As digital technologies evolve,data must re
