libtinydicom

Version

• 0.5.5.153

Introduce

• A DICOM tag read/write library for using standard C++.
• Following DICOM standard part of "Media Interchange/DICOM Basic File Service" of 2023b.
• Related in DICOM tag file (.DCM) read and write library is too far to get free in light size. So I made this to read and write DCM files for free and tiny ! It is still prototype and need to be enhanced.

Project target

• Basically this project targeted to has non-platform-dependency, designed for POSIX.
• Just build it with your gcc or MinGW-W64 in shell (or MSYS2) via make. Maybe there's no platform dependency.

License

• MIT License.
• You can use my source code whatever you want.
• But no warranty, just remember this please.

Known VR (WORD)

• See source code of dicomdictinary.cpp.
• I have gathering more VR information, but it is really narrow to know. Absolutely limited.
• Still making it keep updated for latest version, but too many VR and dictionaries may need more time for only myself.
