Medical Image Management - Part 1: Storage Commitment Service Class

Scope

This European Prestandard specifies network services to control the safe storage of medical images and related data in a networked and media interchange environment. It is an extension of the MEDICOM standard. This European Prestandard does not cover the issue of data ownership. More specifically it does not provide management of master copies of data. The term "Storage Commitment" implies that it must be possible at a later time (within the time frame specified in the Conformance Statement of the implementation) to retrieve the data.
