Gdcm News

+
+
+
+We know the following are missing; don't loose time looking for them ...
+We know they could be helpfull. We shall add them some day.
+Any contribution is welcome.
+
+
+ - gdcm doesn't read yet JPEG-LS and JPEG2000 encoded files.
+
- Allow user to tell gdcm::Document constructor he just wants
+ to load a given list of DocEntries (to save CPU time and RAM
+ space)
+
- Allow user to tell the Writer he doesn't want to write down
+ SeqEntry (if any)
+
- Allow user to tell the Writer he doesn't want to write down
+ Shadow groups (if any)
+
- Icon Image management (Read and Write)
+
- DICOMDIR full management (not limited to
+ PATIENT/STUDY/SERIE/IMAGE)
+
- Allow user to add an Entry to the default entry list, before
+ making a DICOMDIR from a root directory
+
- 16-bits-LUT full Management
+
- User friendly management of Rescale Slope and
+ Rescale Intercept
+
- Allow parsing the Shadow groups against a user supplied
+ private Dicom Dictionary (pfff!...)
+
- An accurate SerieHelper
+
- A SerieHelper that would use the DICOMDIR (if any)
+ instead of parsing all the files within the Root Directory
+

+ - The difference between MONOCHROME1 (low values = bright,
+ high values = dark) and MONOCHROME2 (low values = dark,
+ high values = bright) is now taken into account.
+ It's no longer up to the user to change the pixels value
+ - Writing a 'True Dicom' image after reading an ACR-NEMA image
+ does not request any longer from the user to build up
+ 'manually' the Meta Elements group (0002)
+
- Old '24 Bits' ACR-NEMA are now correctly re-written in DICOM mode.
+
- Element 0x0000 of Shadow groups is always forced to be a
+ ValEntry and its VR is forced to UL

gdcm 0.6 UML Class Diagram version.
User Documentation"
Developper Documentation"
The new gdcmDocument class is a parent class of
gdcmHeader class and gdcmDicomDir class.
Massive modifications in the Class Diagram :
- - Entries (gdcmEntry) are now separated into
- ValEntry and SeqEntry (whose VR =
- SQ)
-
- a gdcmDocument is_a gdcmElementSet,
- composed of a set of gdcmValEntry
- and gdcmSeqEntry
-
- a gdcmSeqEntry is considered as a set
- of gdcmSQItem
-
- Dicom Sequences (VR = SQ) are now dealt as tree-like
- structures within gdcmSQItem class.
- they are considered as a set of gdcmSQItems
- - a gdcmSQItem is_a gdcmElementSet
-
- Improvement of the jpeg sub-library: jpeg
- compressed Dicom files (lossless and lossy)
- might be read (check-it out)
