:hospital: DICOM Medical Image Parser in Go

DICOM parser in Go

This project is no longer maintained, please check out its successor suyashkumar/dicom.

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/gillesdemey/go-dicom"
	"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {

	bytes, err := ioutil.ReadFile("myfile.dcm")
	
	parser, err := dicom.NewParser()
	data, err := parser.Parse(bytes)

	for _, elem := range data.Elements {
		fmt.Printf("%+v\n", &elem)
	}

}

Commandline Interface

dicom -file=myfile.dcm

Will print something like:

Acknowledgements

I'd like to thank my friend Seppe Stas for helping me get through the horrific DICOM image specification and some of the harder parts of the parser.

Some more inspiration and helpful resource that brought this library to life (in no particular order):
