The DICOM WG-26 is dedicated to supporting and developing the DICOM Standard for the Pathology Domain.The DICOM WG-26 is dedicated to supporting and developing the DICOM Standard for the Pathology Domain. This includes handling whole slide images and macros for production, storage, and communication. The group aims to integrate the pathology domain into the broader healthcare process by enhancing system interoperability through global standards, thereby creating seamless workflows.
Recently, the DICOM community has seen significant activity in digital pathology, particularly through the efforts of WG-26. The group has successfully organized four DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathons over the past several years. These events have brought together vendors from across the digital pathology community to demonstrate interoperability and showcase advancements.
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard for transmitting, storing, retrieving, printing, processing, and displaying medical imaging information. It ensures that medical imaging data is interoperable, enabling the integration of image acquisition devices, archive solutions, and workstations from different vendors.
"We're seeing momentum build for broader adoption of the DICOM standard and the WG-26 efforts to enable standardized exchange of large annotation datasets is an important piece in delivering the potential of digital pathology," says Brian Napora, Gestalt's VP, AI Innovation. "I'm committed to continuing an open and community driven process. I will work hard to encourage more participation by healthcare institutions and technology providers."
