= Tasks =

== Task 1: Complete GDCM work (Alex) ==
# Finish adding support for
## DICOM RT  (ITK-113)
## Streaming  (ITK-112)
* Do *NOT* pursue DICOM Networking from GDCM

== Task 2: Create ITK::DCMTK Module ==
# Use ITK module support to include DCMTK with ITK compilation (ITK-2716, 2756, 2757, 2774)
# Offer DCMTK Reader/Writer in ITK's IO factory  (ITK-2758)
# Define data structures for specifying which DICOM Object files should be composed into a volume (when reading) or which DICOM Object files were created when saving a volume to disk.  The application can optionally serialize these data structures (e.g. in sqlite) so that previously parsed data can be quickly loaded into ITK without needing to be re-parsed. (NOTE ALEX: To be defined, I don't understand)  (ITK-2759)
## Ideally datastructure can also be used by GDCM for reading/writing

== Task 3: Create DICOM-PACS Module for ITK (?) (ITK-2760) ==
# Share (via GIT/Superbuild) DCMTK-PACS code from Slicer/CTK
This is the code used to issue a query and receive a list of files
The list of files should use the datastructure from ITK::DCMTK Module (Task 2.3)
# Update ITK to share (via GIT/Superbuild) DCMTK-PACS code from Slicer/CTK
## Offer as DICOM-PACS module in ITK
## Searches returned should be easily passed to the ITK::DCMTK IO facility (Task 2.2) for reading once transfer has been completed.
## Also, when multiple DICOM objects have been written to disk, the same data structure (Task 2.3) for writing them should be able to be passed to the DICOM-PACS Module for upload to a PACS

== Task 4: Slicer DICOM-Objects->itk::Image via DCMTK (NAMIC)==
* Update Slicer so that reading/writing DICOM Objects to/from itk::Image is done via ITK's DCMTK

== Task 5: Setup DICOM-PACS Testing ==
# Install DICOM Server
## [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/CTSC:ARRA:dcm4chee_install DCM4CHEE]
# Create DICOM PACS Tests
## ITK-only tests (alex+drew)
## ITK+Slicer/CTK tests (?)
## Slicer/CTK tests (NAMIC)
# Install tests in CTK and ITK
