WADO (Web Access to DICOM Objects)

WADO, or Web Access to DICOM Objects, is a technology that allows healthcare providers and patients to access and share medical images and related information over the internet. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the standard format for storing medical imaging data, like X-rays or MRIs. WADO enables these images to be retrieved and viewed through web browsers, making it easier for professionals to collaborate and for patients to see their own medical images without needing specialized software. This enhances communication and accessibility in healthcare settings.
