<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As of December 8, 2017, we have entered the phase of public comments on the STL encapsulation by DICOM. If you are unfamiliar with these efforts, they represent the intent of bringing STL files (eventually other
3D files) into the hospital infrastructure that already houses medical images (PACS).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This period lasts 45 days (ends January 22). Anyone (even non-DICOM voting members) are able to submit comments on the specification. Comments may be areas where you feel the specification inefficiently addresses
medical needs or breaks existing workflows or interoperability. While DICOM is a living standard (it continually receives input and enhancements), we would appreciate feedback from the community to ensure it is strong initially. You may be asking why I am
sending out an STL-encapsulation spec to the X3D community – this specification (if successful) will also serve as the framework for the remaining in-scope file specs: obj, vrml/<b>x3d</b>, and 3mf.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Below is a copy of the email from DICOM (sorry, it is very long); the email has the instructions on how to view the document as well as how to comment on it. We would greatly appreciate your input here!
