DICOM Support For Your IDL Medical Imaging Applications

Physicists and radiologists in medical imaging have relied on IDL for years to help them get more information from their nuclear medicine, CT, ultrasound and MRI images. In fact, many popular medical imaging applications distributed commercially today were developed using IDL.

It is clear that DICOM has become the standard for the storage and transfer of digital medical images and data and now medical imaging specialists can take advantage of the IDL DICOM Toolkit™, an add-on module for IDL that gives users the ability to read and write DICOM files in IDL.

• Read and write public and private sequences
• Read, clone and create DICOM files
• Read and write public and private tags
• Read and write pixel data

• Enumerate and copy tags
• Change the transfer syntax
• JPEG Support

Using industry standard DICOM library
Built on the popular commercial library from MERGE Technologies, the IDL DICOM Toolkit provides the ability to read and write DICOM files and includes support for JPEG compression.

Example-driven solution
The IDLffDicomEx Guide is an extensive reference tool that includes industry references and has a complete set of instructions for using the toolkit. An IDL .pro code example is included for every method covered so that both new and experienced IDL users can get up to speed quickly.
