A report by Cylera labs identified a potential cyber security threat in DICOM files that are exchanged on media such as CD, DVD, flash or through email, as well as through DICOM web service communications (DICOMWeb).
The threat was taken seriously enough by the DICOM committee that it issued a FAQs document to address this potential issue. This threat exploits the additional header that is created for media, email and web exchange. Before discussing the potential threat and what to do about it, let’s first discuss what this header looks like and how it is used.
