Advanced DICOM Tag Harmonization
Mammography systems produce DICOM tags that can be inconsistent or non-standard. Our solution ensures consistent, standardized tags across all systems.
The Challenge
Healthcare facilities face several challenges with DICOM tags:
- Inconsistent tags between software versions
- Non-standard view codes or descriptions
- Missing critical sequence information
- Invalid characters or formatting
- Complex integration requirements
- Quality assurance needs
How It Works
The Solution
Capacitor provides sophisticated tag manipulation:
- Standardizes view descriptions
- Adds missing sequences
- Corrects view position codes
- Ensures consistent series descriptions
- Validates tag compliance
- Maintains audit trail
Example Transformations
- "BTO_TOMO, L-CC, PRIME" → "L CC Tomosynthesis"
- Adds spot compression and magnification sequences
- Corrects XCCL coding
- Standardizes naming across vendors
Value Delivered
- Improved reading workflow with standardized naming
- Better integration with third-party AI and CAD systems
- Reduced errors in image display order
- Consistent appearance in PACS worklists
- Enhanced data consistency
- Simplified system integration
