[IGSTK-Users] Read DICOM Metadata /DICOMDIR

[jprecio at adinet.com.uy]

Hi,
We are working on an application similar to the Navigator present on 
Sandbox 4.0. We want to load not only CT images but also RMI and US. 
For doing so, and because of the reader classes specialization, we 
could not read them directly without knowing the modality of images on 
the directory. Which is the best approach on this case ? Maybe develop 
a new class only to read the meta information present on the DICOMs 
files  and based on this information using the correct class to read 
the images ? This class may bypass IGSTK and interact directly with ITK 
or GDCM ?

What about reading a DICOMDIR file ? Is there any class on IGSTK or 
ITK to doing ? If not, the best approach could be to implement it 
directly with GDCM ?

Thanks,
Javier
