As someone who just struggled through writing a DICOM parser, _standardized_ doesn't always mean the same. For more examples, see RETS in the real estate world

  For those curious: - Some RETS recorded requests/responses: https://github.com/estately/rets/blob/master/test/vcr_cassettes/unauthorized_response.yml https://github.com/estately/rets/blob/master/test/vcr_casset... (Basically some XML-based (SOAP?), cookie + authorization, that seems very ASP.net / Windows Server centric) - DICOM ("It includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICOM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICOM It's basically how to imaging devices communicate and store the images. Image examples: http://www.osirix-viewer.com/resources/dicom-image-library/ http://www.osirix-viewer.com/resources/dicom-image-library/ A video of what a doctor would see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prb5lcR8Jqw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prb5lcR8Jqw TCP-based protocol in Wireshark: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Protocols/dicom https://wiki.wireshark.org/Protocols/dicom I wrote a little .dcm to .jpg based on ruby-dicom BTW: https://gist.github.com/Dorian/9e3eb5891b49926c15a05c641ffefb3b https://gist.github.com/Dorian/9e3eb5891b49926c15a05c641ffef... - PACS seems just like a database model basically http://mehmetsen80.github.io/EasyPACS/ http://mehmetsen80.github.io/EasyPACS/ It's the server that is gonna give the info to the doctors. It's interesting how there seems to be only one popular viewer: OsiriX
