Anyone know of a program to read dicom files?

[Paolo Galtieri]

Anyone know of a program to read dicom files on Linux?

I tried both cinepaint and gimp which claim to support dicom files, but
cinepaint crashes and gimp says

Procedure 'file-dicom-load' returned no return values

Any help is appreciated.

Have you successfully opened the files before? Years ago I wrote a
simple python based image viewing program to do just this for work and
imported ImageMagick to open the files and it worked fine. You can
install ImageMagick and use the "display" command line program or use
"convert" to another format.

The CD came with its own image display software which runs on Windows.
However the software locks up when I run it on Windows.

When I try your suggestion I get:

display: magick/list.c:485: GetFirstImageInList: Assertion
`images->signature == 0xabacadabUL' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

running file on the image I get:

1.dicom: DICOM medical imaging data

Is it possible that this is a proprietary format?

I know I've successfully used it so if it's having issues with the
files as well the problem may lay with the files themselves. This[1]
site has some additional information, software, and some samples dicom
files you can try for reference. Good luck!

Check out this one:

http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en

I've been out of the field for a while, but it used to be 
well-considered.  That being said, we had a smart guy on staff whose 
full-time job it was to figure out how to parse supposedly-standard 
DICOM files coming out of random scanners from myriad vendors.

I tried it, but couldn't get the source rpm to build on F12:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNDEBUG -c -I. -I. -I../include

I don't know C++ so I haven't tried to fix it.

I finally resorted to using nconvert to convert the dicom files to tiff. 
The conversion loses all the medical related data, but at least I can 
view the images.
