ANNOUNCEMENT
Version 3.5.1 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 3.5.0):
- The DICOM data dictionary has been re-worked based on the 2001 edition of
the DICOM standard and latest supplements and correction proposals, as
usual.
- A new module dcmjpeg has been added that enables JPEG compression and
decompression of DICOM images. The supported lossy JPEG processes are:
baseline, extended sequential, spectral selection and progressive. The
lossless processes with selection value 1 and arbitrary selection values
are also supported (with bits/pixel up to 16). The JPEG compression /
decompression code is based on an adapted version of the Independent JPEG
Group's JPEG library which is shipped with DCMTK.
- The new utility dcmmkdir extends the existing tool dcmgpdir with the
ability to create DICOMDIRs conforming to the Basic Cardiac X-Ray
Angiography and 1024 X-Ray Angiography application profiles, including
the required icons.
- The new utility dcmj2pnm extends the existing tool dcm2pnm with the
ability to convert JPEG-compressed images and to export JPEG. Both tools
now support BMP and TIFF export (requires libtiff).
- The digital signature module dcmsign has been adapted to the final text
of supplement 41.
- The storescp tool has received a number of additional options which allow
to sort images and to execute user defined commands upon reception.
- The old, Xlib-based database monitor tool "ctndisp" has been phased out
and removed from the toolkit.
- Under the hood: Most of the various condition enumerations and defines in
the various DCMTK modules have been replaced by a unified condition
class. Doc++ documentation for various classes has been added.
- Many bug fixes and minor improvements as usual - See the dcmtk/CHANGES
file for more details.
