How can I convert RAW image to DICOM image using imebra?


I am new to imebra and want to convert raw image to DICOM image. I have complied the imebra library to my virtual machine (ubuntu 16.04), and followed the tutorial from the website. I found that they do not show how to convert raw image to DICOM image.

Can anyone help me out or tell me the process of converting?

#include <imebra/imebra.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <memory>

using namespace std;
int main()
{   

    //creat read stream  
    using namespace puntoexe;
    ptr<stream> readStream(new stream);
    readStream->openFile(NSStringToStringW(imagePath), std::ios::in);


    // Create dataset
    streamReader reader =new streamReader(readStream);
    imebra::dataSet testDataSet = imebra::codecs::codecFactory::getCodecFactory()->load(reader);

    // Set Tags
    testSet->setString(0x0010,0,0x0010,0,"testSrt0");
    testSet->setString(0x0010,0,0x0010,1,"testSrt1");

    // Load jpeg
    std::unique_ptr<imebra::DataSet> testSet(imebra::CodeFcactory::load("/home/lixingyu/care.raw"));

    // Save as DICOM
    imebra::CodecFactory::save(testSet, "/home/lixingyu/care.dcm", imebra::codecType_t::dicom);
    */
    return 0;
}

I am not quiet sure about the code above. Is there anything wrong with this process?? When I tried this code: using namespace puntoexe; an error occurred:

"error: ‘puntoexe’ is not a namespace-name" and "ptr" was also fault.


Solution

  • You are using a rather old version of Imebra.

    With Imebra 4 and 5 you can:

    • create an Image object
    • fill the image object with raw data
    • create a DICOM dataset
    • add the image to the DICOM dataset
    • fill all the necessary DICOM tags (e.g. sop class, instance, patient name, etc)
    • save the DICOM dataset

    In code, with Imebra5:

    include <imebra/imebra.h>
    
    // Create an image 500 pixels wide, 400 pixels height,
    // each sample is a 16 bit unsigned value, the colorspace
    // is monochrome_2, the higher bit used is 15
    imebra::MutableImage image(500, 400, imebra::bitDepth_t::depthU16, "MONOCHROME2", 15);
    
    // We fill the image with data
    {
        // We use a writing data handler to write into the image.
        // The data is committed into the image only when the writing
        // data handler goes out of scope.
        imebra::WritingDataHandlerNumeric writeIntoImage(image.getWritingDataHandler());
    
        for(size_t y(0); y != 400; ++y)
        {
            for(size_t x(0); x != 500; ++x)
            {
                // This method is slow, you can access directly the memory
                // with writeIntoImage.assign() or getMemory()
                writeIntoImage.setUnsignedLong(y * 500 + x, pixelValue);
            }
        }
    }
    
    // We specify the transfer syntax and the charset
    imebra::charsetsList_t charsets;
    charsets.push_back("ISO 2022 IR 6");
    imebra::MutableDataSet dataSet("1.2.840.10008.1.2.1", charsets);
    
    // Add the image to the dataset
    dataSet.setImage(0, image,  imebra::imageQuality_t::veryHigh);
    
    // Set the patient name
    dataSet.setUnicodePatientName(imebra::TagId(imebra::tagId_t::PatientName_0010_0010), imebra::UnicodePatientName(L"Patient^Name", "", ""));
    
    // Save to a file
    imebra::CodecFactory::save(dataSet, "dicomFile.dcm", imebra::codecType_t::dicom);
    

    Imebra 4 code is similar but the functions returned pointers instead of objects.
