1.2

Definitions
Association Establishment - An Association Establishment is the first phase of
communication between two DICOM Application Entities. The AEs use the Association
Establishment to negotiate how data will be encoded and the type of data to be
exchanged.
Called Application Entity Title - The Called AE Title defines the intended receiver of an
Association.
Calling Application Entity Title - The Calling AE Title defines the requestor of an
Association.
DICOM Message Service Element (DIMSE) - A DIMSE defines the services and
protocols utilized by an Application Entity to exchange messages.
Information Object Definition (IOD) - An IOD is a data model which is an abstraction of
real-world information. This data model defines the nature and attributes relevant to the
class of realworld objects represented.
Service Class Provider (SCP) - A Service Class Provider plays the "server" role to
perform operations and invoke notifications during an Association. An example of a
Storage Service Class Provider would be an image storage device. In this case, the
image storage device is storing the image that was sent by a Service Class User.
Service Class User (SCU) - A Service Class User plays the "client" role to invoke
operations and perform notifications during an Association. An example of a Storage
Service Class User would be an image acquisition device. In this case, the image
acquisition device will create and send a DICOM image by requesting that a Service
Class Provider store that image.
Service/Object Pair (SOP) Class - A SOP Class is defined by the union of an
Information Object Definition and a set of DIMSE Services. A DICOM Application Entity
may support one or more SOP Classes. Each SOP Class is uniquely identified by a SOP
Class UID.
SOP Instance - A specific occurrence of a Information Object.
Transfer Syntax - The Transfer Syntax is a set of encoding rules that allow DICOM
Application Entities to negotiate the encoding techniques (e.g., data element structure,
byte ordering, compression) they are able to support. The Transfer Syntax is negotiated
during Association Negotiation.
Unique Identifier (UID) - A Unique Identifier is a globally unique, ISO compliant, ASCIInumeric string. It guarantees uniqueness across multiple countries, sites, vendors, and
equipment.
-1-

No. MIIUS0024EA

Application Profile - A Media Storage Application Profile defines a selection of choices

at the various layers of the DICOM Media Storage Model which are applicable to a
specific need or context in which the media interchange is intended to be performed.
DICOM File Service - The DICOM File Service specifies a minimum abstract view of
files to be provided by the Media Format Layer. Constraining access to the content of
files by the Application Entities through such a DICOM File Service boundary ensures
Media Format and Physical Media independence.
DICOM File - A DICOM File is a File with a content formatted according to the
requirements of this Part of the DICOM Standard. In particular, such files shall contain
the File Meta Information and a properly formatted Data Set.
DICOMDIR File - A unique and mandatory DICOM File within a File-set which contains
the Media Storage Directory SOP Class. This File is given a single component File ID,
DICOMDIR.
File - A File is an ordered string of zero or more bytes, where the first byte is at the
beginning of the file and the last byte is at the end of the File. Files are identified by a
unique File ID and may by written, read, and/or deleted.
File ID - Files are identified by a File ID which is unique within the context of the File-set
they belong to. A set of ordered File ID Components (up to a maximum of eight) forms a
File ID.
File ID Component - A string of one to eight characters of a defined character set.
File Meta Information - The File Meta Information includes identifying information on the
encapsulated Data Set. It is a mandatory header at the beginning of every DICOM File.
File-set - A File-set is a collection of DICOM Files (and possibly non-DICOM Files) that
share a common naming space within which File IDs are unique.
File-set Creator - An Application Entity that creates the DICOMDIR File and zero or
more DICOM Files.
File-set Reader - An Application Entity that accesses one or more files in a File-set.
File-set Updater - An Application Entity that accesses Files, creates additional Files, or
deletes existing Files in a File-set. A File-set Updater makes the appropriate alterations
to the DICOMDIR file reflecting the additions or deletions.
DICOM File Format - The DICOM File Format provides a means to encapsulate in a File
the Data Set representing a SOP Instance related to a DICOM Information Object.
Media Format - Data structures and associated policies which organizes the bit streams
defined by the Physical Media format into data file structures and associated file
directories.
Media Storage Model - The DICOM Media Storage Model pertains to the data
structures used at different layers to achieve interoperability through media interchange.
Physical Media - A piece of material with recording capabilities for streams of bits.
Characteristics of a Physical Media include form factor, mechanical characteristics,
recording properties and rules for recording and organizing bit streams in accessible
structures.

2 Implementation Model
2.1
Verification
The Verification service class defines an application level class of service
which allows the service engineer to verify the ability of an application on a
Remote DICOM device to respond to DICOM messages. The DICOM Service
Tool application supports the Verification service and acts as the SCU. The
response to Verification requests from remote applications is handled by the
Verification SCP application.
