Writing enhanced DICOM files #3

Open dgobbi opened 10 years ago

dgobbi commented 10 years ago

Enhanced DICOM files such as 3D MR and CT files can be read, but cannot yet be written. The way that these enhanced files are written is very similar for PET, MR, CT, and Secondary Capture so all three of these enhanced storage IODs should be supported.

This enhancement has been sitting unfinished in the "enhanced-writer" thread for many months. Many important pieces are finished, in fact it might be a good idea for me to finish up the "Enhanced Secondary Capture" output working and then merge it.

Missing pieces: -Referring to other DICOM files in the same study, which is tricky because the original series could either be "enhanced" or could be a series of "legacy" files. -The new UIDs introduced in the 2013 standard for converted legacy files, which should be applied automatically if a conversion is being performed.
