Dicom Cat Scan Format
Dicom is a huge copyright problem promoted as =93the internet of medical
information=94. According to its standards page, =93It defines the formats
for medical images that can be exchanged with the data and quality
necessary for clinical use. =931 It is controlled by The Medical Imaging
& Technology Alliance (MITA), a division of the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA). They claim to be the leading
organization and collective voice of medical imaging equipment
conglomerate.2 They claim to represent companies whose sales make up
more than 90 percent of the global market for advanced imaging
technologies. They are not an open forum for digital standards but are
created as a profit center for a few select and well placed medical
device companies.

There are, nevertheless, some free tools to access some of their
formats. On the sourceforge network there is Open Dicom Viewer3 which
is licensed under GNU Library or Lesser General Public License version
3.0 (LGPLv3). It is a Java application (written in Java 1.7).
Another tool is DCMLinux 4, and it is released under the GPL2. It
promotes itself as, =93a complete PACS system, free of charge. Its core is
an Ubuntu 10.04 system fully updated and it contains the DCM4CHEE as its
PACS server. In the near future it will contain many other addons such
as Weasis, Oviyam, Care2x, etc.=94

There is an =93OpenSourced=94 C++ library for dicom with java and python
hooks which looks promising for new developers. Called Imebra5, and
licensed under the GPL2, and it=92s development is current. =93The Imebra
SDK is a multiplatform, open source, C++ library for handling DICOM
files, both raw and compressed.=94 It actually has an impressive set of
features and looks like it is worth development. It=92s main class is the
imebra::DataSet class and it is fully documented. It is compiled with
cmake. You need to include imebra/imebra.h, to your source files to
access the library. It uses uniqueptr and can open files like this
according to the official documentation:
std::unique_ptr
loadedDataSet(imebra::CodecFactory::load("DicomFile.dcm"));
// Retrieve the first image (index =3D 0)
std::unique_ptr
image(loadedDataSet->getImageApplyModalityTransform(0));

// Get the color space
std::string colorSpace =3D image->getColorSpace();

// Get the size in pixels
std::uint32_t width =3D image->getWidth();
std::uint32_t height =3D image->getHeight();

// let's assume that we already have the image's size in the variables
width and height
// (see previous code snippet)

// Retrieve the data handler
std::unique_ptr
dataHandler(image->getReadingDataHandler());

for(std::uint32 scanY(0); scanY !=3D height; ++scanY)
{
for(std::uint32 scanX(0); scanX !=3D width; ++scanX)
{
// For monochrome images
std::int32_t luminance =3D dataHandler->getSignedLong(scanY *
width + scanX);

// For RGB images
std::int32_t r =3D dataHandler->getSignedLong((scanY * width +
scanX) * 3);
std::int32_t g =3D dataHandler->getSignedLong((scanY * width +
scanX) * 3 + 1);
std::int32_t b =3D dataHandler->getSignedLong((scanY * width +
scanX) * 3 + 2);
}
}

Dicom has a networking layer in the specification, something that PNG
also made room for in its specification. This is a template for views
an image:
// The transforms chain will contain all the transform that we want to
// apply to the image before displaying it
imebra::TransformsChain chain;

if(imebra::ColorTransformsFactory::isMonochrome(image->getColorSpace())
{
// Allocate a VOILUT transform. If the DataSet does not contain any
pre-defined
// settings then we will find the optimal ones.
VOILUT voilutTransform;

// Retrieve the VOIs (center/width pairs)
imebra::vois_t vois =3D loadedDataSet->getVOIs();

// Retrieve the LUTs
std::list > luts;
for(size_t scanLUTs(0); ; ++scanLUTs)
{
try
{

luts.push_back(loadedDataSet->getLUT(imebra::TagId(imebra::tagId_t::VOILUTS=
equence_0028_3010),
scanLUTs));
}
catch(const imebra::MissingDataElementError&)
{
break;
}
}

if(!vois.empty())
{
voilutTransform.setCenterWidth(vois[0].center, vois[0].width);
}
else if(!luts.empty())
{
voilutTransform.setLUT(*(luts.front().get()));
}
else
{
voilutTransform.applyOptimalVOI(image, 0, 0, width, height);
}

chain.add(voilutTransform);
}

// If the image is monochromatic then now chain contains the VOILUT
transform

// We create a DrawBitmap that always apply the chain transform before
getting the RGB image
imebra::DrawBitmap draw(chain);

// Ask for the size of the buffer (in bytes)
size_t requestedBufferSize =3D draw.getBitmap(image,
imebra::drawBitmapType_t::drawBitmapRGBA, 4, 0, 0);

// Now we allocate the buffer and then ask DrawBitmap to fill it
std::string buffer(requestedBufferSize, char(0));
draw.getBitmap(image, imebra::drawBitmapType_t::drawBitmapRGBA, 4,
&(buffer.at(0)), requestedBufferSize);
