Develop and maintain the CT-specific objects for the DICOM Standard in the domains of X-Ray imaging, technical reports, dose information and clinical information, which accompany a patient general CT procedure. These include (but are not limited to) acquisition, processing, storage, communication, display and reporting. The CT group pursues opportunities for further enhancements in the area of clinical interoperability for CT.

Current Supplements, Work and Objectives:

• Multi-Energy CT
  • Supplement 252: For Processing CT SOP Classes was approved for Final Text
  • Rendering WebService is being discussed to produce ME result images out of “FOR PROCESSING” images on demand (post processing)

• CP-2578 “Add SSDE to CTDoseCheckDetails (TID 10015)”
• CP-2626 “Add Filter Material Gold”
• CP-2631 “High-Density Object Metadata for CT”
• NWIP “Structured Report for Quality Assurance Results”

Challenges and Opportunities (Environment):

• Cooperation with other WGs for finding solutions beyond CT.

Future Roadmap and Objectives (Committee Direction):

• Continue improving the DICOM Standard in the realm of CT, accommodating new technologies (e.g., photon counting detector) and functionalities (e.g., multi-energy) in CT.

Past Work:

• CP-2322 “Record Vendor-specific CT Image Quality Reference Parameters”
• CP-2531 “Harmonize description of Exposure Modulation Type Attribute”
• CP-2575 “Add metal artifact reduction info metadata”
