Description
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the standard for storing and sharing medical image information. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is the leading open-source program for processing professional and scientific images; however, it is currently unable to open many modern DICOM images. The project goal is to update GIMP's DICOM import plugin with code to support all types of DICOM images. After creating a C++ wrapper to incorporate the GDCM (Grassroots DICOM) library into the existing software, GIMP could import images that previously caused errors. The updated plugin has been submitted as a merge request and is currently being reviewed by the developers for the next software release. The next step would be to expand GIMP's DICOM metadata and display multi-frame images to continue to better support medical professionals and researchers.
