Hi,
I just thought I might let you know about my recent implementation of
GDLffDICOM
It is currently available from
http://www.zipworld.com.au/~retsil/idl/gdlffdicom0.1.1.tar.g z
http://www.zipworld.com.au/~retsil/idl/gdlffdicom0.1.1.zip
but will be available from
http://www.anzsnm.org.au/ftp/idl/
sometime in the near future.
GDLffDICOM is an adaptation of IDLffDICOM to achieve several outcomes.
* Better runtime error handling
* Ability to read a broader range of DICOM files
* Limited ability to write DICOM files
* Drop in replacement of IDLffDICOM
Better runtime handling
GDLffDICOM is written completely in IDL. Whilst this decreases
performance, it also ensures that all runtime errors are not fatal and
can be captured. This is advantageous over IDLffDICOM, which is written
in C/C++ and can cause IDL to terminate abnormally if an error is
encountered.
Ability to read a broader range of DICOM files
GDLffDICOM can read a slightly borader range of DICOM files than
IDLffDICOM. GDLffDICOM is more lenient about accepting non-compliant
tags. You can also avoid further parsing errors by using the
GDLffDIOM__assoc class.
Limited ability to write DICOM files
GDLffDICOM allows you to associate the image data of a DICOM file with
an IDL variable. This provides a reasonably efficient method of
altering the pixel data in a DICOM file. Other DICOM tags can be set
via the GDLffDICOM::SetValue method and are written to a DICOM file
using the GDLffDICOM::Commit function.
Drop-in replacement of IDLffDICOM
The GDLffDICOM method signature is almost identical to IDLffDICOM. This
allows you to avoid significant alteration of code if you wish to only
use a small portion of GDLffDICOMs features.
Authors Note
GDLffDICOM has acquired its name from the GNU Data Language (GDL)
project. Whilst GDLffDICOM might work with GDL it may not exclusively
work on either platform. It has only been named with the GDL prefix so
it can be effectively maintained by both the IDL and GDL community
without namespace issues.
