[ITK-users] Reading Dicom Image from BLOB object Stord in a Database

[Konstantinos Tsirkou]

Hello all,

I am facing a sitiuation where i have a Database (Oracle) that on a 
table that stores
multimedia i have a column that stores as binary data from a incoming file.
I have to read the Binary data and load it as Dicom object using gdcmIO 
module.
So far i haven't found a clean way to do this.
What i am doing so far is tha i read the dinary data and by reading the 
huge Dicom Specifications documents
i can identify the pixel data and almost all the metadat information 
only if the transfer syntax is "Explicit VR"
and then by using the importImageFilter i create an itk image object.
But the above is not working on encapsulated jpeg or jpeg2000 images.

So i wanted to ask if ther is a way to load the whole binary data that i 
have as a memory buffer to an itk image type?

Thank you very much,
Much regards,
Kostas
