Writing dicom images

Hello, I am new to Boost.  I work in the medical imaging field and am looking for a set of functions and/or libraries in c++ that can be used to write raw (pixel) data to dicom images.  I am also fairly new to c++ as well as dicom images.  Is there a separate dicom header library?  I have implemented much of what I need to do in Matlab using dicomwrite and want to mimic that function in c++.  Does something similar to that exist?

 

Thanks

 

David

Or gdcm which tightly integrates with VTK & ITK:

Re: Writing dicom images

David,

I was using DCMTK ( http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en ) at one point
and it served its purpose. As for reading or writing dicom images I'm
afraid but there is nothing in boost right now. The closest is
probably boost::gil but there is no extension for dicom, which would
be very cool to have.

Regards,
Christian

You may want to have a look at DICOM Toolkit (DCMTK):

http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk

I recommend downloading a recent snapshot instead of 3.5.4 which is 
already 3 years old:

http://dicom.offis.de/download/dcmtk/snapshot/

DCMTK covers large parts of the DICOM standard including pixel data 
manipulation.
