C# DICOM Forum

Hello,

I'm thinking about setting up a little forum specifically for C# in
DICOM. Any one have any thoughts? Think it's a good or bad idea?

-Lint

I think C# codes run slowly, so it's not suitable to develop dicom
application, maybe you can use it just to build frame.
The kernel of DICOM must be written in c or c++ for high performance.

It's probably a good marketable idea :)

but, conceptually, is a bad idea as DICOM standard doesn't relate to
any programming language ...

Right, but there are people who deal who program DICOM solutions in C#
(like me! haha). There aren't a whole lot of programming DICOM
application in C# resources, hence my first thought of the idea.

Sine you prgram DICOM solutions in C#, perhaps you could provide or help me
find what I'm looking for.

I have just started a position at University of Houston, charged with
creating a database to store header text from DICOM files. I assume that
there is a library that I can use with C# or VB.NET that gives me a class
that accepts a file path and presents me with some mechanism for retrieving
the text. It would be ideal to be able to link that with existing tables in
a database and invoke a hypthetical "copy all of that to there" method.

Do you provide such a library, or know the name of that sort of library that
I should be considering?

Thanks for any information.

Hello Rick,

you can do this with the automation/COM interface of PowerDicom
([url]http://www.dicom-solutions.com/powerdicom.shtm[/url]). For special support
on using it with C# please contact us directly.

Greetings
Marianne

I think the forum is is a good idea.

Two helpful places for dicom in C#:

Hi,

If your not affraid of Java you can try this : [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/dicom4j[/url].

It's an alpha version.

I think that you are probably on the right track, in creating a new
newsgroup for programming, etc. This group is really primarily for
discussion about the standard, although a lot of programming issues
creep in. But, rather than create a new one for just C#, I would
suggest that it should be for all languages. Like you mentioned, there
aren't many implementations in C#, but there are a lot in C++ and C.

It would be good in my opinion to have a place to discuss DICOM
implementation from a programmer's standpoint. However, the traffic on
this list has been low enough to put up with some programming questions
from time to time.

Thus, unless the majority of the readers of this list want to kick the
programmers and programming discussions off, I think it's a bad idea to
divide an already small community.

If you do decide to start a C# forum, please announce it on this thread
so that I can join. While I don't think it's a really good idea, I
would sign up. I have done DICOM in C#, and I don't think it's overly
slow for that purpose despite what others on the thread have indicated.
