Medical Imaging Working Group activities

Extend DICOM to provide support for Camera RAW image format and to include metadata from EXIF tags to provide the data needed to derive the colorimetry of a scene

Medical RGB Color Space - mRGB
Project coordinator: Michael Flynn

Define a set of colour spaces and ICC profiles for medical displays using the GSDF as the greyscale

Framework for multispectral imaging
Project coordinator: Masahiro Yamaguchi

Define a multispectral imaging framework

Open source reference implementation
Project coordinator: David Clunie

Connect the ICC's open source 'Sample ICC' or similar CMM with a suitable open source DICOM viewer to serve as a baseline implementation

Colour support for mobile devices
Project coordinator: Andy Masia

Develop guidelines for colour support on mobile devices

Best practice papers for colour in DICOM
Project coordinators: David Clunie Craig Revie

Develop guidelines for each imaging modality and where possible a set of tests that can be used to check conformance

Petri plate calibration
Project coordinator: Jeremie Pescatore

Develop a proposal for assessing Petri plate readers and display management

Color connectathon
Project coordinator: TBD

Extend existing medical imaging connectathons to include colour capability

Wiki for test images
Project coordinator: TBD

Define a set of reference images for all modalities, and a wiki to make test images available
