HealthCare Informatics - Dicom Technical Training Onsite Class

Overview

Have you ever wondered why your SCU doesn't talk to your SCP?


Do you wonder why the studies on your PACS server are missing information?


This three-day hands-on class will help you gain the experience and skills to understand how medical devices communicate, using DICOM. You will utilize DICOM simulators in conjunction with medical scanners to step through DICOM services (in real-time) including Image Store, Modality Worklist, Printing, and more. This course will also help you achieve an overview of the DICOM standard and DICOM conformance statements.

• The following applies to cancellations of an onsite course/training scheduled at your facility (i.e., a GE HealthCare instructor is scheduled to travel to your site) or a remote virtual course/training offering (where specific course/training dates have been agreed upon and scheduled by you and GE HealthCare): there is a cancellation fee of 100% of the course/training tuition, plus you agree to reimburse GE HealthCare for GE HealthCare’s incurred travel charges and expenses.
