C DICOM Encoding Rules
This appendix lists the encoding rules for medical imaging.
Note:
The Oracle Multimedia support for DICOM was deprecated in Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2), and may be desupported in a future release. Oracle recommends that you stop using deprecated features as soon as possible.
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) includes transfer syntax. The transfer syntax is a complete set of DICOM encoding rules for medical images.
The following table contains the complete list of encoding rules that support medical imaging in Oracle Multimedia DICOM. The abbreviations used in the Support column are defined as follows:
-
P: The processCopy( ), createDicomImage( ), and writeMetadata( ) procedures and methods are able to produce DICOM content of this transfer syntax.
-
R: The extractMetadata( ), setProperties( ), and isConformanceValid( ) methods are able to read DICOM content of this transfer syntax. If the encoding rule is not changing between the source and destination DICOM content, then the processCopy( ), createDicomImage( ), and writeMetadata( ) procedures and methods are also supported for this transfer syntax.
