This crate serves as a parent for library crates in the DICOM-rs project, an ecosystem of library and tools for DICOM compliant systems.
This collection provides a pure Rust implementation of the DICOM standard, allowing users to read and write DICOM objects over files and other sources, while remaining intrinsically fast and safe to use.
This crate exposes the dicom-object crate directly via the object module,
which is currently the go-to solution for reading DICOM objects
from a file or a similar source.
Other key components of the full library are available as well,
albeit representing different levels of abstraction.
An example of use follows.
For more details, please visit the dicom-object documentation.
use dicom_object::open_file;
use dicom_object::Result;
let obj = open_file("0001.dcm")?;
let patient_name = obj.element_by_name("PatientName")?.to_str()?;
let modality = obj.element_by_name("Modality")?.to_str()?;This crate enables the inventory-based transfer syntax registry by default,
which allows for a seamless integration of additional transfer syntaxes
without changing the application.
In environments which do not support this, the feature can be disabled.
Please see the documentation of dicom-transfer-syntax-registry
for more information.
