Description
DICONDE, short for “Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation”, is an important standard in non-destructive testing (NDT). This standard is based on the widely used medical DICOM standard and aims to enable uniform communication and archiving of digital imaging data in the NDT world.
The introduction of DICONDE has several advantages. First, it standardizes the storage and exchange of imaging data, which facilitates collaboration between different inspection bodies and devices. This leads to improved consistency and traceability of inspections. In addition, DICONDE enables more efficient data management and long-term archiving, which is crucial for the documentation and traceability of inspection processes.
Another important feature of DICONDE is its ability to integrate metadata into the image files. This metadata contains important information about the test conditions, equipment used and test results, which greatly facilitates the analysis and interpretation of results.
Overall, DICONDE helps to improve quality and reliability in non-destructive testing by enabling consistent and efficient handling of digital imaging data.
