Detailed Description

ImageIO class for reading and writing DICOM V3.0 and ACR/NEMA 1&2 uncompressed images This class is only an adaptor to the gdcm library (currently gdcm 1.2.x is used by default):

GDCM 1.2 can be found at: http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/software/public/Gdcm/

CREATIS INSA - Lyon 2003-2008 http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/site/en

Using the CMake variable: ITK_USE_SYSTEM_GDCM it is now possible to use a system installed GDCM 2.x release. GDCM 2.x is now being developped on sourceforge.net :

http://gdcm.sourceforge.net

Documentation:

Warning:
There are several restrictions to this current writer:
  • Eventhough during the writing process you pass in a DICOM file as input The output file may not contains ALL DICOM field from the input file. In particular:
    • The SeQuence DICOM field (SQ).
    • Fields from Private Dictionary
  • Some very long (>0xfff) binary fields are not loaded (typically 0029|0010), you need to explicitely set the maximum length of elements to load to be bigger (see Get/SetMaxSizeLoadEntry)
  • GDCMImageIO was not handling rescale slope/intercept properly. This is fixed as of 11/12/2007
  • In DICOM some field are stored directly using there binary representation. When loaded into the MetaDataDict some fields are converted to ASCII (only VR: OB/OW/OF and UN are encoded as mime64).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

itk::GDCMImageIO::GDCMImageIO ( const Self ) [private]

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool itk::GDCMImageIO::CanReadFile ( const char *  ) [virtual]

Determine the file type. Returns true if this ImageIO can read the file specified.

Implements itk::ImageIOBase.

virtual bool itk::GDCMImageIO::CanWriteFile ( const char *  ) [virtual]

Determine the file type. Returns true if this ImageIO can write the file specified. GDCM triggers on ".dcm" and ".dicom".

Implements itk::ImageIOBase.

virtual::itk::LightObject::Pointer itk::GDCMImageIO::CreateAnother ( void  ) const [virtual]

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::LightProcessObject.

Reimplemented in itk::DicomImageIO.

void itk::GDCMImageIO::GetBodyPart ( char *  part)

Set/Get a compression type to use.

virtual const char* itk::GDCMImageIO::GetFrameOfReferenceInstanceUID ( ) const [virtual]

Access the generated DICOM UID's.

void itk::GDCMImageIO::GetInstitution ( char *  ins)

Get the original component type of the image. This differs from ComponentType which may change as a function of rescale slope and intercept.

virtual bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetKeepOriginalUID ( ) const [virtual]

Preserve the original DICOM UID of the input files

static bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetLabelFromTag ( const std::string &  tag,
std::string &  labelId 
) [static]

Method for consulting the DICOM dictionary and recovering the text description of a field using its numeric tag represented as a string. If the tagkey is not found in the dictionary then this static method return false and the value "Unknown " in the labelId. If the tagkey is found then this static method returns true and the actual string descriptor of the tagkey is returned in the variable labelId.

virtual bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetLoadPrivateTags ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Parse any private tags in the DICOM file. Defaults to the value of LoadPrivateTagsDefault. Loading DICOM files is faster when private tags are not needed.

Warning:
this is a GDCM 1.x only option, no effect on GDCM 2.x

Definition at line 242 of file itkGDCMImageIO.h.

static bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetLoadPrivateTagsDefault ( ) [inline, static]

Global method to define the default value for LoadPrivateTags. When instances of GDCMImageIO are created, the ivar LoadPrivateTags is initialized to the value of LoadPrivateTagsDefault. This method is useful when relying on the IO factory mechanism to load images rather than specifying a particular ImageIO object on the readers. Default is false.

Warning:
this is a GDCM 1.x only option, no effect on GDCM 2.x

Definition at line 272 of file itkGDCMImageIO.h.

virtual bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetLoadSequences ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Parse any sequences in the DICOM file. Defaults to the value of LoadSequencesDefault. Loading DICOM files is faster when sequences are not needed.

Warning:
this is a GDCM 1.x only option, no effect on GDCM 2.x

Definition at line 231 of file itkGDCMImageIO.h.

static bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetLoadSequencesDefault ( ) [inline, static]

Global method to define the default value for LoadSequences. When instances of GDCMImageIO are created, the ivar LoadSequences is initialized to the value of LoadSequencesDefault. This method is useful when relying on the IO factory mechanism to load images rather than specifying a particular ImageIO object on the readers. Default is false.

Warning:
this is a GDCM 1.x only option, no effect on GDCM 2.x

bool itk::GDCMImageIO::GetValueFromTag ( const std::string &  tag,
std::string &  value 
)

More general method to retrieve an arbitrary DICOM value based on a DICOM Tag (eg "0123|4567"). WARNING: You need to use the lower case for hex 0x[a-f], for instance: "0020|000d" instead of "0020|000D" (the latter won't work)
