In 1995 when the development of the SZOTE-PACS (PACS of theAlbert Szent-Györgyi Medical University) begun, we chose DICOM as the common file format and a possible file transfer protocol for our PACS. Now, we present the problems and our solutions connected with the application of the DICOM standard. According to our experiences the problems can be explained as the misinterpretation of the complex, complicated and extensive standard. After some minor adjustments the exchange of study data between different systems, vendors, and even modalities was generally successful. Diagnostic tools for testing DICOM files coming from different modalities are a help to the adjustments. In the second part we present the automatic procedures built into SZOTE-PACS: automatic data-conversion, -edition (including existing RIS data and predefined study parameters), lossless image data compression, checking and transmission to the Archive.
