dcmimgle: an image processing library and utility apps

This module contains classes to access and render DICOM monochrome images. Support for color images is provided by the module dcmimage. Support for JPEG compressed images is provided by the module dcmjpeg.

The main interface classes are:

• DicomImage
• DiDisplayFunction

Tools

This module contains the following command line tools:

• dcmdspfn: Export standard display curves to a text file
• dcod2lum: Convert hardcopy characteristic curve file to softcopy format
• dconvlum: Convert VeriLUM files to DCMTK display files

Examples

The following example shows how to load a DICOM single-frame monochrome image and render its pixel data:

DicomImage *image = new DicomImage("test.dcm");
if (image != NULL)
{
  if (image->getStatus() == EIS_Normal)
  {
    if (image->isMonochrome())
    {
      image->setMinMaxWindow();
      Uint8 *pixelData = (Uint8 *)(image->getOutputData(8 /* bits */));
      if (pixelData != NULL)
      {
        /* do something useful with the pixel data */
      }
    }
  } else
    cerr << "Error: cannot load DICOM image (" << DicomImage::getString(image->getStatus()) << ")" << endl;
}
delete image;
