Visible light imaging
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Visible light imaging is an imaging modality that uses visible light.
In Medicine[edit]
Standardization and Adoption[edit]
Even prior to specific support in DICOM for visible light imaging, the standard could already encapsulate color images, e.g., in JPEG format as Secondary Capture images [1] [2] . The need for standardized communication of digital visible light images from various specialties, and the need for specialty-specific acquisition context metadata and an appropriate controlled terminology [3] was recognized [4] not long after the DICOM standard was introduced and the terminology of visible light imaging was introduced to the standard [5] [6] . The United States Department of Veterans Affairs was an early adopter of a standardized approach to incorporating visible light images into the electronic medical record [7] . Increasingly, visible light imaging is being deployed beyond individual departments, as part of a trend referred to as Enterprise Imaging [8] .
