Adapters for VTK, Cornerstone and Cornerstone3D

Conversion to/from the internal model and DICOM SR for annotations and other types of objects.

History

• 2014
  • DCMTK cross compiled to javascript at CTK Hackfest. While this was useful and powerful, it was heavyweight for typical web usage.
• 2016
  • A Medical Imaging Web Appliction meeting at Stanford and follow-on hackfest in Boston helped elaborate the needs for manipulating DICOM in pure Javascript.
  • Based on DICOM Part 10 read/write code initiated by Weiwei Wu of OHIF, Steve Pieper developed further features and examples of creating multiframe and segmentation objects discussed with the community at RSNA
• 2017
  • At NA-MIC Project Week 25 Erik Ziegler and Steve Pieper worked with the community to define some example use cases to mix the pure JavaScript DICOM code with Cornerstone and CornerstoneTools.
• 2018-2022
  • Work continues to develop SR and SEG support to OHIFViewer allow interoperability with DICOM4QI
• 2023
  • Moved the adapters into cornerstone3D from dcmjsj
