[Insight-users] Loading DICOM RTStructs

[Jason.Dowling at csiro.au]

Hi Mathieu and Mark,

Yes, I've written a C++ DICOM-RT Struct importer which uses ITK and GDCM 2. I've been testing it on MR and CT volumes of the pelvis (I have also testing it on some head and neck and chest volumes) over the past few weeks.  
I have been planning to write an Insight Journal paper over the past week and will try to do this over the weekend.  I'm happy to send you the code today (as is) if you would like to test/compare it?

Cheers,
Jason

Hi Mark,

  I made a mistake and had a private conversation with Jason Dowling (CC), without CCing gdcm-dev sorry :(
  He also has been working on a C++ RT Importer using gdcm 2.x. This has been tested on multilpe platform and gives proper results.
  If you would like we could compare both C++ code and merge them. I know Jason was really close to making a release to the IJ. Jason, any comments ?

cheers
