This paper presents an ITK [1] implementation for exporting the contours of the automated segmentation results to DICOM-RT Structure Set format. The “radiotherapy structure set” (RTSTRUCT) object of the DICOM standard is used for the transfer of patient structures and related data, between the devices found within and outside the radiotherapy department. It mainly contains the information of re...

Zusammenfassung. Ein Java DICOM Viewer zur Darstellung und Verarbeitung medizinischer Bilddaten wurde speziell für die Teleradiologie entwickelt zur kooperativen Bearbeitung und Konsultation innerhalb und außerhalb des Krankenhauses. Die Realisierung der Client-Software als Java-Applet, in Verbindung mit einer zusätzlichen Java-Serverapplikation erlaubt die Ausführung von Telekonferenzen im Int...

We introduce a fast and well-structured package for constructing voxel-based computational phantoms as MCNP(X) input file based on CT DICOM images. Our program which has been implemented under a graphic user inter-face provides several basic image processing tools for manipulating images. The MCNP materials are interpreted from the CT numbers of DICOM images. Two modes of phantom creation have ...

It is widely accepted that content-based image retrieval (CBIR) can be extremely useful for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). However, CBIR has not been established in clinical practice yet. As a widely unattended gap of integration, a unified data concept for CBIR-based CAD results and reporting is lacking. Picture archiving and communication systems and the workflow of radiologists must be cons...

One of the most common difficulties in neuroanatomy learning is misperception of structure’s spatial position. Three dimensional (3D) reconstruction and modeling is one of the easiest ways of understanding spatial position. 3D reconstruction and modeling from traditional imaging modalities requires too many slices and expensive image display and processing system. Is there any software, which a...

Images generated during the course of patient evaluation and management are an integral part of the medical record and must be retained according to local regulations. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) makes it possible for images from many different imaging modalities to be distributed via a standard internet network to distant viewing workstations and a central archive in...

The isocenter of the magnetic gradient fields inside a magnetic resonance imaging scanner is an important parameter in gradient non-linearity distortion correction methods for MR images. Currently there is no established method for estimating the gradient isocenter. All existing correction methods assume that the gradient isocenter coincides with the DICOM coordinate center, which is close but ...

In this paper, the authors describe a methodology to transform programmatically structured reporting (SR) templates defined by the Digital Imaging and Communications for Medicine (DICOM) standard into an XML schema representation. Such schemas can be used in the creation and validation of XML-encoded SR documents that use templates. Templates are a means to put additional constraints on an SR d...
