[Ctk-developers] CTK and DCMTK 3.6 compatibility

[Steve Pieper]

Hi Guys -

I also looked at the issues related to upgrading ctk's dcmtk to 3.6
and got stalled on adapting to the latest DcmSC(U/P) changes.  I'm
very much looking forward to Michael's patch :D.

In the mean time we've been focused working on the GUI side and
Nicholas has made great progress with the thumbnails and the image
viewer.  We'll be working on it this week at the na-mic project week
so hopefully we'll make some more useful progress (any suggestions
and/or feature requests welcome).
