DICOM-rs

An ecosystem of library and tools for DICOM compliant systems.

This collection provides a pure Rust implementation of the DICOM standard, allowing users to read and write DICOM objects over files and other sources, while remaining intrinsically fast and safe to use.

Components

Library:

• core

  represents all of the base traits, data structures and functions related to DICOM content.

• encoding

  contains DICOM data encoding and decoding primitives.

• parser

  provides a middle-level abstraction for the parsing and printing of DICOM data sets.

• object

  provides a high-level abstraction of DICOM objects and functions for reading and writing DICOM files.

• dictionary-std

  contains a Rust definition of the standard data dictionary.

• transfer-syntax-registry

  contains a registry of transfer syntax specifications.

• ul

  implements the DICOM upper layer protocol.

Tools:

• dcmdump

  is a command-line application for inspecting DICOM files.

• dictionary-builder

  is a Rust application that generates code and other data structures for a DICOM standard dictionary using entries from the official website.

• scpproxy

  implements the Proxy service class provider.

An example of use follows. For more details, please visit the

dicom-object

use dicom_object::open_file;
use dicom_object::Result;

let obj = open_file("0001.dcm")?;
let patient_name = obj.element_by_name("PatientName")?.to_str()?;
let modality = obj.element_by_name("Modality")?.to_str()?;

Building
