XMedCon
(X)MedCon (Medical Image Conversion) is an open source medical
image conversion tool and library.
Its main purpose is image conversion and in particular for
reconstructed nuclear medicine images. The program also allows to read
unsupported files without compression, to print pixel values or to
extract/reorder specified images. It is possible to retrieve the raw
binary/ascii image arrays or to write
PNG for desktop applications.
The project is about a framework specifically designed to
resolve the complexities involved with conversion of medical image
formats. It offers:
- xmedcon: A graphical user interface (GUI) to assist
novices, given the immediate visual control on selected options
- medcon: The command line interface (CLI) is aimed at the
more experienced user, who needs batch conversion or usage
within scripted environments
- library: The Application Programming
Interface (API) makes it possible for coders of existing tools, to
easily increase the number of supported image formats
Features include:
- Printout header information or pixel values
- Simple image processing: Extract, reverse, flip or square
image matrices
- Read raw image arrays from unsupported formats
- Hack files with Acr/Nema tags
- Read gzipped or compressed files directly
- Simple reslice into transverse, sagittal or coronal view
- Select output file endian
- Alter patient, modality, dimension and orientation
specifications
- Batch conversion
- Supportted formats:
- ACR/NEMA 2.0
- Analyze (AVW, Mayo and SPM)
- Concorde microPET
- DICOM 3.0 (uncompressed, lossless JPEG or RLE)
- CTI ECAT 6 and 7
- GIF87a/89a
