Detailed Description
DICOM This module contains a number of classes for DICOM image loading within MITK.
Scope
When people around MITK talk about loading DICOM images or series, they are really not interested in the images (2D slices) but in a 3D mitk::Image instance that groups DICOM images in a meaningful way.
The task of this module is to provide
- an interface for the general "DICOM files to mitk::Images" transformation: mitk::DICOMFileReader
- a flexible default reader for the most common DICOM images: mitk::DICOMITKSeriesGDCMReader
Most documentation is kept with these classes, so please have a look at their documentations.
- Remarks
- Prior to this module, a class called DicomSeriesReader grew too much to be maintainable anymore. Its functionality is conserved by class mitk::ClassicDICOMSeriesReader.
Module Interface
The general loading proceduce is structured by mitk::DICOMFileReader, under the assumption that the best reader for a set of files is not known prior to inspection. To facilitate applications that need to select between possible readers based on what would be loaded, file readers are required to implement loading in two separate steps:
- analysis of a list of files and description of potential mitk::Images by means of mitk::DICOMImageBlockDescriptor
- actual loading of pixel data into mitk::Images
A very simple implementation is mitk::DICOMFileReaderSelector which selects the reader with the least possible number of mitk::Images (least confusing for the user?).
Tasks for future development
Unstructured development tasks and ideas for future extensions
- a multi-frame image reader based on DCMTK
- perspective: slice-by-slice loading
Enumeration Type Documentation
◆ PixelSpacingInterpretation
How the mitk::Image spacing should be interpreted (see mitk::DICOMFileReader).
Compare DICOM PS 3.3 10.7 (Basic Pixel Spacing Calibration Macro).
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| SpacingInPatient | distances are mm within a patient |
| SpacingAtDetector | distances are mm at detector surface |
| SpacingUnknown | NO spacing information is present, we use (1,1) as default. |
Definition at line 31 of file mitkDICOMEnums.h.
◆ ReaderImplementationLevel
Describes how well the reader is tested for a certain file type (see mitk::DICOMFileReader).
Applications should not rely on the outcome for images which are reported Implemented or Unsupported.
Errors to load images which are reported as Supported are considered bugs. For PartlySupported please check the reader documentation on specifics.
