Add DICOMDIR abilities #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Write code to parse DICOMDIR files (need a short one for unit tests also).

Move up to release 1.0. Have looked at and need only read the file into a 
dataset and
reorganize "flat" directory records into a hierarchical tree to make more 
useful.
Will be useful for pydicom development to survey possible example files quickly.

Here is a quick solution which works on the few DICOMDIRs I have at my 
disposition :
  * Patch filereader.py to add a ''file_tell'' member to the datasets, similar to the
one in data elements.
  * Build a dictionary mapping an offset to a record.
  * Find the children of each record based on
OffsetofReferencedLowerLevelDirectoryEntity and OffsetoftheNextDirectoryRecord. 
The
list of children is stored in a list called ''children'' in each record.
  * Find all top-level records, i.e. siblings of the first record.

Attached is a patch to filereader.py, and the two extra functions to get the 
siblings
of a record and to build the records hierarchy.

What is the status on this? Would it be easy to integrate the patch of previous 
comment in upstream?

FYI, I am currently looking for a Python library/wrapper to manipulate 
DICOM/DICOMDIR data. At the moment, I am making a technological survey.

Yes, it should be, I don't think the relevant parts have changed much up to the 
latest versions. There are only a few lines added to existing code, it looks 
like, and a couple of functions added.

If you are interested in using this, it should be pretty easy to find the 
relevant lines and try it in a local copy. My time is highly committed to other 
things for the next week or so.

I think I was originally hoping to look at this at a high level and integrate 
it into the code more fully (new classes etc). I hadn't noticed before that 
this is one of the most "starred" issues, and questions about DICOMDIR have 
come up a  number of times. I've set it as a higher priority and will try to 
put it in the planned 0.9.7-1 release (being developed in the 09x-series 
repository in the clones section).

I tested the patch successfully on a local copy of the code. I don't know if 
I'm doing things the way they should (I'm not that familiar with DICOM), but 
I've been able to create a 3D array containing my volume from my DICOMDIR files.

Updating the issue with new information ... dicomdir support was added to the 
repository in Jan 2013 shortly after the 0.9.8 release, and an example file 
show_dicomdir.py added also.  Test files were added later (r 99af7f8458aa), but 
no formal unit tests have been included yet.
