I very much enjoyed this book, which was a surprise to some extent -- although I was eager to learn about DICOM I fully anticipated a very dry, dull book. Luckily that is not the case. Moreover, the detailed explanations were great for me as a software developer now working on a DICOM application.Part I - Introduction to DICOM provides a light but good overview.Part II - DICOM and Clinical Data, after some brief history, gets right into the guts of what DICOM looks like, down to the bytes in a DICOM object. Lots of great stuff there. There's also some excellent information on medical images, compression, video and overlays.Part III - DICOM Communications does a great job explaining the networking half of the DICOM standard. This is not something I've needed to know much about but was readable and definitely adds to my understanding. I can see that being useful in various application design decision in the coming years.Part IV - DICOM Media and Security makes clear the media sections of the standard were every bit as crazy as I thought them to be. The security stuff treats anonymization/de-identification well too.Part V - Advanced Topics is a fairly wide ranging set of topics. The teleradiology chapter was useful although I felt a little thin..although there is some good advice in there I felt there was also some confusing, contradictory and vague information. The coverage of the work the author did with PACS etc. in a post-Katrina New Orleans is pretty eye opening. The DICOM software development chapter was a little bit of a disappointment to me, although I acknowledge it is but one chapter rather than the entire focus of the book.
