Working with the DICOM Data Standard in R

چکیده
The package oro.dicom facilitates the interaction with and manipulation of medical imaging data that conform to the DICOM standard. DICOM data, from a single file or single directory or directory tree, may be uploaded into R using basic data structures: a data frame for the header information and a matrix for the image data. A list structure is used to organize multiple DICOM files. The conversion from DICOM to ANALYZE/NIfTI is straightforward using the capabilities of oro.dicom and oro.nifti.

متن کاملThe DICOM standard for medical thermal imaging
In imaging medicine the DICOM standard has become a widely accepted and implemented format for the exchange, storage and presentation of medical imaging data. Numerous imaging modalities are supported however there is not a dedicated solution for thermal infrared imaging. We designed and implemented a new proposal for DICOM Thermal Infrared Imaging (TII) using existing DICOM data structures and...

Cytometry Markup Language, CytometryML, is a proposed new analytical cytology data standard. CytometryML is a set of XML schemas for encoding both flow cytometry and digital microscopy text based data types. CytometryML schemas reference both DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) codes and FCS keywords. These schemas provide representations for the keywords in FCS 3.0 and will ...
متن کاملDICOM metadata as RDF
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an industry standard for medical imaging. We present an OWL ontology for DICOM metadata and dicom2rdf-a tool to extract RDF metadata out of DICOM files (Media type application/dicom, filename extension .dcm). We discuss benefits, use cases, limitations and possible enhancements. 1 The DICOM standard DICOM objects consist of sets of attri...
