As part of our research on ‘Customizing Radiology Images to Improve Patient-Provider-Radiologist Communication, we developed a software at Purkayastha Laboratory to perform a two-way conversion of image format between JPEG and DICOM with any loss of of the Digital signatures that accompany the DICOM images. JPG2DICOM, combines all the functionalities of some of the existing image conversion softwares to allow us modify the images for the consumption of the patients who may or may not have little or no knowledge of basic human anatomy.
We are currently working on JPG2DICOM to improve user experience as well as the enhancing the functionalities. All of these would be available when JPG2DICOM 2.0 is released.
