I was just informed by a sales rep at ITT that the company will no longer sell or support the DICOM toolkit. This is a major problem for me. I just purchased an IDL license to manipulate DICOM images. I need to be able to write DICOM files. Does anyone know a third party work around which would allow me to write DICOM files? Thanks, Mardis
Hi, You can always try GDLffDICOM. This works exactly the same as IDLffDICOM except that it has a ::SetElement, ::Assoc and ::Commit method. You can write directly to an uncompressed DICOM image using the assoc method, which turns out to be many times faster than other libraries. http://idl.barnett.id.au/ (Note the new web address)
Hi Robbie, the link points to http://www.barnett.id.au/idl/download/dicom170606.tar.gz and results in page not found :-( Could you please update the link or provide it here? Thanks! Oliver
+1 for GDLffDICOM. I use it in about 90% of my Nuc Med/PET applications.
