DICOM RT

#1 Post by candy »

Hi,
Can I use dcmtk to develop DICOM ? If OK, Can you give me some ideas about how to do with it?
such as how to present the RT Image or others.
I am quite confused.
Best Regards.

Hi Candy,

you can use DCMTK for developing applications especially for RT, but there is no high level API to do so in the current code.

At the moment, can access all data inside RT objects with methods from the module dcmdata, most notably using the funcitons in DcmItem (see also online documentation).

Also, for rending RT Images, which are pretty normal images like all other, you can use code of the dcmimage module; or use a ready-made-tool like dcm2pnm that you also can find in that module to convert the image to jpeg/bmp/tiff or the like.

Currently we are developing a new module called dcmrt which will permit High Level Access to DICOM RT objects which will allow for reading, creating, modifying, writing and (partly) visualizing such objects. The module will be part of the public toolkit. However, i cannot tell a hard deadline, but we think it will be beginning of next year....;-)

Regards,
Michael
