#Imagetype dicom how to#
So, if your goal is to learn how to use the PixelMed library, I would encourage you to visit its website or check out the discussion forum or StackOverflow discussion pages for any assistance. This article is also not meant to be a tutorial on this toolkit, and my focus here is simply to tie DICOM theory to what a practical (although simple) implementation might look like. Every situation is unique, and only you are ultimately in the best position to decide that. Please keep in mind that the use of this toolkit in my tutorial does not in anyway imply my official endorsement of it for implementing a production application. The list of features contained within this toolkit is quite comprehensive. It is well documented and also has a small discussion forum and mailing list for users. This toolkit is completely free for both commercial or non-profit use. This is a completely stand-alone DICOM toolkit that provides functionality for DICOM file and directory processing, image viewing as well as DICOM networking-related operations. The PixelMed Java DICOM Toolkit - Quick Overviewįor the purposes of illustrating many aspects of DICOM that I plan to cover in this tutorial series, I will be using a freely available and powerful DICOM toolkit called PixelMed Java DICOM Toolkit.
#Imagetype dicom code#
Much like my previous tutorials, let us understand some more DICOM terminology around imaging as well as some important DICOM elements that store image-related data before we dive into some code examples. Many aspects of image display such as image compression can be one of the most interesting, and at the same time one of the most challenging areas to understand for DICOM developers. There is a reason for this perception as image data has been a key (and successful) consideration for the past and continued evolution of the DICOM standard, and also explains its immense popularity in clinical settings around the world. When most people think of DICOM, they tend to think of MR or CT images displayed on large display monitors with radiologists in white coats hovered around them. This tutorial also assumes that you know the basics of Java or any equivalent object-oriented language such as C# or C++. As this tutorial requires some understanding of the structure of the DICOM file and the encoding process used for embedding content within it, please also have a look at my previous tutorials “DICOM Basics - Making Sense of the DICOM File” and “DICOM Basics using Java - Creating a DICOM File”. If you are totally new to DICOM, please have a quick look at my earlier article titled “Introduction to the DICOM Standard” for a quick introduction to the standard.
