and demand (Getzen, 2007). Diagnostic radiology is a prime example of the value being determined by both supply and demand. As radiologic imaging advanced from two dimensional x-ray images to three dimensional ultrasound images, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Computed tomography (CT) providing better image quality and increased accuracy of diagnoses, the demand for these services rose. Statistics show that from 1996 to 2006 the frequency of radiology imaging increased nearly 60%, from 61

they have - so if mobile devices support REST, DICOM has to create a RESTful protocol to allow for access to imaging objects by such devices. DICOM tries to ensure that the evolutionary trends still maintain the value of any existing images in the radiology department. As such these new protocols are viewed as layers on top of DICOM. There'll be a mixture of the DICOM native protocol and webservices for some of these new use cases. Radiation dosage monitoring DICOM also has relationships with

Diagnostic Imaging Modalities Skeletal metastases can be evaluated by four clinical imaging modalities: plain film radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and skeletal scintigraphy. Plain Film Radiography Plain film radiographs are commonly used to evaluate symptomatic areas and to confirm findings seen with other imaging modalities. Because of its poor sensitivity (ie, 44% to 50% less sensitive than scintigraphy in detecting breast cancer metastases[3]), it is
