Scope

• To develop or consult on CPs and Supplements requiring detailed expertise on physics and/or the needs and work of medical physicists.
• To serve as a liaison body to facilitate including data relevant to the physics community in DICOM objects.

Current Supplements, Work and Objectives

• Supplement 245: RDSR Informative Annex

 Challenges and Opportunities (Environment)

• Encourage more medical physicists to participate in the activities of all DICOM Working Groups.

Future Roadmap and Objectives (Committee Direction)

• Collaborate with Physics and Radiology groups (e.g. AAPM, EFOMP, RSNA) to determine the need and resources to enhance the Standard to meet the requirements of the user communities.
