Gdcm -which stands for Gnu DiCoM- is yet another C++ library dedicated to reading/parsing and writing Dicom files.
- gdcm implements the dicom base standard part 5 that concentrates on image file format. Hence gdcm supports the following formats:
- ACR-NEMA version 1 and 2
- Dicom version 3.
- gdcm is distributed with LPGL for the license.
- gdcm targets both GNU/Un*ces and Windows/VC++ (see Requirements).
- gdcm comes with gdcmPython it's Python wrappers.
- gdcm does not implement any other part of the Dicom base standard as opposed to CTN or DCMTK. In particular gdcm is not aware of:
- the Dicom network file exchange protocol.
- the Dicom media storage formats.
- offer Dicom jpeg compressed image support,
- enable Dicom header parsing of sequences and overlays,
- distribute a VTK thin wrapper of gdcm (essentially a vtkGdcmImageReader).
