The purpose of handling DICOM images in Black Ice’s Document Imaging SDK is:
· To extract single or multiple frames as DIBs (Device Independent Bitmaps) for working with.
· To store the DIBs in DICOM format.
Its purpose is not to decode all contained information, handle multiple modalities (e.g. with 3 or 4-dimension image series), or to create multi-frame DICOM image series.
Every DICOM function is based on the usage of DCMTK open source library.
For more information, see the DCMTK home page: http://www.dcmtk.org
For more information about the DICOM format
The DICOM library is for viewing images from DICOM files.
By saving the DICOM images, the file will not contain DICOM specific data sets such as Patient ID and other medical record information.
The Black Ice BiDICOM.dll and BiDicom.ocx (BiDICOMx.dll and BiDicomx.ocx on 64 bit) are recommended for viewing images from DICOM files.
