Very interesting! I have been working with medical information standards for a while now. Recently, I took an interest in DICOM and ways to modernize it. For example by introducing streaming, caching, moving metadata to a FHIR ImagingStudy resource.

To me, specifically streaming and caching strategies to move the load of (often hopelessly legacy) hospital infrastructure are an interesting challenge.

Whatever issues exist within DICOM are dwarfed by HL7 hell, and the point where the two specs meet can by awful.

Between HL7 and vendors doing custom things with HL7 and DICOM, IT support in healthcare is always going to be desperately needed.
