DCMTK Example

DCMTK hands on example:

We download the following DICOM images:
- DicomImage1.dcm DicomImage2.dcm
And try to open the images with ImageMagick (→ display) and Gimp (→ gimp).
Now we download DCMTK and install the package
- Either use the DCMTK 3.6.0 release for Ubuntu 14.04
  - http://dicom.offis.de/download/dcmtk/dcmtk360/dcmtk-3.6.0.tar.gz
- Or a later release snapshot for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
  - http://dicom.offis.de/download/dcmtk/snapshot/old/dcmtk-3.6.1_20150629.tar.gz
- Or the latest release snapshot for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (and MacOS X) from here:
  - https://dicom.offis.de/download/dcmtk/snapshot/
- To build use CMake style:
  - cmake -DDCMTK_WITH_ICU=OFF . && make && sudo make install
Then we finally try the “dcmdump” tool from the bin directory with the DICOM images.
