I am somewhat new to programming and am interested in writing a DICOM
viewer. I can decode the IODs I want to, but dont know that much about
image processing/display or graphics ( actually programming in general
to be honest). I am interested and self motivated, but unsure what
subject/books I should read. Ultimately I would like to display CT/MR/
PET image, multiplanar reconstruct them, view overlayed, and register
them. Any recommended reading would be greatly appreciated.

So you have finished reading the whole DICOM standard ? Very
impressive !
You could start reading the Red & Blue book for OpenGL (Orange book
too if you are going to go the shading path). In you are coming from
OO world, definitely read The Visualization Toolkit An Object-Oriented
Approach To 3D Graphics.
As for registration, there are plenty of approach, (see itk.org for
implementations). ITK Software guide can be freely downloaded of the
web... AFAIK there is a book per registration method.
Good luck

Mathieu-
Thanks for the reply. I will definitely look into those. Its actually
not so impressive after all. I havent finished the whole standard just
the parts I needed to be able to decode the IODs i needed. Really,
just the encoding section and the IOD definition section and even
those not as throughly as I should have.
Thanks again

I started on a similar hunt about 1 year ago. Here is the current
status:
[url]http://groups.google.com/group/medicalimagingscience/web/smiviewer-download-page[/url]
This project will soon be open source.
To get more ideas, you can review vtk codebase.. they have good
rendering examples.
I use dcmtk for now to iron out DICOM complexities, in process to use
GDCM soon.
Good luck!

Those screen shots look fantastic. Your program did the segmantation
and 3d presentation? Its awesome. I may hit you up for advice
periodically if you dont mind.
Thanks for the post and the tips

Kevin,
Yes all the code except DICOM I/O is home grown.
