# DICOM Real-Time Video **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Domain:** Clinical Media Transport / DICOM **Doc Type:** Technical Standard Node **Maturity:** Codified DICOM Service Architecture **Related:** [[DICOM]], [[Real-Time Transport Protocol]], [[SMPTE ST 2110]], [[Precision Time Protocol]], [[Essence Flow]] --- ## Definition **DICOM Real-Time Video (DICOM-RTV)** is the real-time communication architecture defined in DICOM PS3.22 for transmitting synchronized medical video, audio, and DICOM metadata as network flows. Despite the name, its architecture includes audio, metadata, and rendition binding as well as video. ## Neural-interface role It provides a model for preserving the temporal relationship among stimuli, clinical video, audio, device context, and physiological response—relationships that can become invalid if streams drift by even milliseconds. ## Primary source - [DICOM Supplement 202: Real-Time Video](https://www.dicomstandard.org/docs/librariesprovider2/dicomdocuments/news/ftsup/docs/sups/sup2021ed698b842ec4ac7a8e4bf6d8c7a3d19.pdf) ## Neurotech cluster route **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Source articles:** [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] ## Relationships [[wiki/DICOM Real-Time Video|DICOM Real-Time Video]] is related to [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] through [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]]. <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry's documented connections are expressed in its definition and related-work routes, with provenance retained in the source-linked material. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - In [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]], ****4\.
