ANNOUNCEMENT
Version 3.4.0 of the OFFIS DCMTK (DICOM ToolKit) software is now available
for public release. This release includes the following main changes
over the previous version (Version 3.3.1):
- The DICOM data dictionary has been completely re-worked based
on the 1998 edition of the DICOM standard and the latest supplements.
- The new module dcmimgle ("dcmimage light edition") contains routines to
efficiently render DICOM grayscale images. The library supports all DICOM
grayscale transformations including the various look-up tables. It also
supports rotating, scaling, and processing of overlay bitmaps. This module
has been added to DCMTK to support the Grayscale Softcopy Presentation
State demonstrator (DICOMscope) which has been shown at the European
Congress of Radiology 1999.
- The new module dcmpstat contains routines to read, manage and write DICOM
Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State objects according to Supplement 33
(revised frozen draft for demonstration, Version 18). This module has also
been added to DCMTK to support the Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State
demonstrator (DICOMscope) which has been shown at the European Congress of
Radiology 1999.
- All applications in the dcmdata and dcmnet modules have been updated to
use a new command line option scheme which makes calls more self-explaining
as the tools get more and more options.
- Experimental support for the network transmission of DICOM images
in encapsulated transfer syntax (compressed) has been added to the
dcmnet library and the storescu, storescp and movescu applications.
- Experimental support for C-GET and extended SOP class negotiation
has been added to the dcmnet library.
- The Worklist CTN now supports all type 1 and 2 attributes as return
keys and has also been ported to Windows.
- New FAQ entries: Building DCMTK on HP-UX 10 or Unixware, Building the
DCMTK libraries as shared objects on Unix platforms, Images received in
/tmp when running imagectn as root.
- Improved handling of unknown (or unsupported) VRs when reading or
receiving explicit VR data. Allows to communicate with certain modalities
using private VR names like "??" without extended length field.
- Many bug fixes and minor improvements - See the dcmtk/CHANGES file for
more details.
Attention: The file format of the imagectn index file has changed with the
new release. You need to rebuild index files when updating imagectn to
DCMTK 3.4.0.
