This follows from the recent thread on the help-octave list: http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/dicom-support-tt2122699.html#a2122699
I don't think image is the correct package for it. I realise that matlab has the functions in its image processing toolbox. However, dicom does mauch more that store images. My current motivation is that I wish to extract dose-volume histograms from RTDose and geometric imformation regarding collimators from RTPlan. I guess that mathworks have bunged it in with image processing in order to keep the number of packages small. Does octave have a similar requirement? If not I suggest dicom support could go in its own package, called "dicom". it would have (at least) dicominfo: header and metadata to struct dicomread: image from file to matrix dicomdict: tell the other functions to use a different dicom dictionary (or return path to current). dicomwrite dicomlookup: use dictionary to get keyword from tag (and reverse) and then maybe: dicomanon ... -- /* andy buckle */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
