2. Chairman, members and friends of the DICOM standard committee, On behalf of the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), I would like to extend my warm welcome to all gathered here to participate in the Meeting of DICOM standard committee. Implementation of international standards is very important for us. As you know, currently in BSMI, we try to help industry to develop healthcare information technology (IT) and hospitals to promote electronic patient records (EPR). We also encourage the domestic healthcare product can verified by international standards. All of these works are relied on the standards, such as: DICOM and HL7. We are happy to know that Medical Image Standards Association of Taiwan (MISAT) is helping us to promote DICOM Standards and IHE activity. I think that during this stage, we need a lot of comments from related societies and advices from experts to implement these standards as well. I know that most of you are expert in this area, please do not hesitate to give us some suggestions during stay in Taiwan. Finally, I wish the best success to this meeting and everyone enjoy here as I do. Thank you and welcome to Taiwan!
