Handling DICOM format images in Document Imaging SDK

 

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

This is only for viewing images from DICOM files. This is not recommended for Medical Imaging Development.

By saving the DICOM images, the file will not contain DICOM specific data sets such as Patient ID and other valuable information.

 

The Black Ice BiDICOM.dll and BiDicom.ocx (BiDICOMx.dll and BiDicomx.ocx on 64 bit) are recommended only 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 valuable information.
