ITK/Release 4/DICOM/Minutes 2011 04 15

Technical Discussions

• Repository with modifications to GDCM
  • git://github.com/ComplexSystemsModeling/ITK.git

• Platforms
  • Windows
    • Visual Studio 2008
    • Visual Studio 2005
• Additional tests will be needed
• Need to setup tests with an external DICOM server

• Tests in gdcm proper that should be fixed:
  • test vrds (make sure rtstructs are printed properly)
  • test image change transfer syntaxes
  • test stream image writer

• dicom functions:
  • generate tag
  • change tag
  • generate uid
  • get image information
  • repopulate image information
  • get orientation, etc-- save from looking up tags
  • get numerical and string versions of the tags

• • getCTSeriesFromServer (to get proper datatype on the way back)
  • get<imagetype>fromserver

• gdcmBaseQuery-- if it's in gdcm, why wrap it in dcmtk?
  • use this to have the user to ask for data

• test nightly, totally script

• when writing, create new uids and the stuff from the original header to make it relevant
• also, have a secondary capture automatically generated
• pass the reader to the writer to get this information to the writer

• choices must be made, but they should be made at the application level

• Timewise-- done by the beta release?
  • idea is to have 90%+ done by the 15th of May
  • weekly tconf to keep things hot.
  • CoSMo representative will be preset at NAMIC to make sure something can be used by the community.
