医学图像DICOM格式转换软件的设计与实现

PACS（图像存档与通讯系统）应遵循DICOM（医学数字图像通讯）标准。目前国内存在大量不符合DICOM标准的影像设备,为了使这些设备也应用于PACS,我们使用面向对象方法设计和实现了一个具有良好扩充性的格式转换工具包,可进行DICOM格式与各种通用图像格式之间的转换,并具有视频输入与格式转换工具包,可进行DICOM格式与各种通用图像格式之间的转换,并具有视频输入与扫描仪输入的接口。该工具包提供一组DICOM API,可供Windows平台的各种编程环境使用。

The Design and Implementation of DICOM Medical Image Format Conversion Tool-kit

DICOM is the standard of PACS. However, there still exist many medical imaging equipment which do not conform to DICOM. To connect these equipment to DICOM based PACS, we designed and implemented a tool kit for conversion of image formats between DICOM and non DICOM medical equipment. Like the DICOM standard itself, Object Oriented Method is used in our software to achieve features including explicity, modularity and portability. Based on several Core Classes, the tool kit is written with Visual C++ for Windows Platforms, and provides a set of APIs in Dynamic Link Library(DLL), which can be easily used by most Windows Applications. These Core Classes deal with such processes as image data encapsulation and compression, hiding users from the complexity of DICOM. With Object Oriented Method, existing modules can be modified and new modules can be added without affecting other parts. The software also has interfaces for standard video or scanner output. At present, our DICOM format conversion tool kit is being put into clinical use.
