Following are requirements relevant to the usage of DICOM data produced by an image acquisition machine.

Patient access/share DICOM

As a patient, I want to have access to my DICOM files and share them.

Examples:

  • patient shares DICOM with doctor for (second) opinion
  • patient shares DICOM anonymously with hospital/group/company for clinical trial, AI training...

Doctor access/share DICOM

As a doctor, I want to have access to a patient DICOM files (with his agreement), have the possibility to annotate them and optionally share them.

Examples:

  • doctor views and annotates DICOM to give opinion
  • doctor shares DICOM with other doctor for (second) opinion
  • doctor shares DICOM anonymously with hospital/group/company for image analysis
  • doctor shares annotated DICOM anonymously with hospital/group/company for clinical trial, AI training...
  • doctor shares (annotated) DICOM anonymously with public for educational purposes (web, blog, special app...)

Solution

The DICOM data could be uploaded to a private cloud storage with the patient owning it. The storage could be a generic one (for example Google Drive) or a specific medical one (for example a hospital HIS with external access). A storage system that wants to meet the previous requirements would need to implement the following:

  • a DICOM Web Viewer to view data
  • a DICOM Web Annotator to add annotations to data
  • a DICOM Web Anonymiser to view/download anonymous data

Each functionality being accessible via access rights such as view, annotate and download decided at the moment of sharing the data. View and annotate could be done live between multiple users. Download can only be done anonymously to avoid a data breach.
