PARCA eNews – Sept. 30, 2019 – The DICOM Standards committee released its realtime video standard in September. 

The new standard describes several new DICOM IODs and associated transfer syntaxes for the transfer of realtime video, and or audio along with associated medical data.

Referred to as DICOM-RTV the supplemental standard was developed to overcome the challenges of managing real-time transfer of video, and/or audio, and associated medical metadata inside medical theaters particularly operating rooms. It defines a new IP-based DICOM service for broadcasting video to subscribers with a quality of service compatible with communication within the operating room, according to DICOM News.

DICOM-RTV restricts real-time communication to uncompressed video, and was adopted a FINAL Text Sept. 16, 2019. The supplement does not define how the video will be stored or re-played. Only the method for feeding the recorder with the synchronized videos and associated metadata is specified by this supplement.
