PAPYRUS 3.0: DICOM-compatible file format

O Ratib et al. Med Inform (Lond). 1994 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

This paper describes the PAPYRUS 3.0 file format based on the new DICOM 3.0 Standard which addresses the open interchange of medical images in files or on removable storage media. This specific implementation of the DICOM standard is intended as a generic solution for interchange of multi-modality medical images on removable media. It can also be used for convenient exchange of image data between different computer systems through industry standard file transfer mechanisms. Finally it can also be used for storage and archiving of medical image data in a DICOM-compatible format.
