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 On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 2:26 PM, David J. Paribello wrote:

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: http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/gdcm/index.php?title=GDCM_Release_2.0#... -- Mathieu
