Currently, all vendors provide software conforming to the DICOM standard, and agree to a commitment to that effect to all customers. Compliance with this standard establishes a common format for imaging systems connecting hardware and software components, and allows interoperability for transfer of images and associated information among multiple vendors devices. The DICOM standard is particularly useful in the implementation of the Picture Archival and Communication System (PACS), which is discussed here.

This chapter envisions several ideas for which this work can be extended in order to improve the performance of transform-based compression methods. These compression methods can be extended for transmission of medical data over wireless networks susceptible to error with various bandwidth capacities. With the great development in telemedicine technology, mobile devices have been recently incorporated into picture archiving and communication systems in order to allow instant diagnosis by a medical expert at any time and in any place.
