Description:

GDCM is an open source DICOM library. It is meant to deal with DICOM files
(as specified in part 10 of the DICOM standard). It offers some compatibility
with ACR-NEMA 1.0 & 2.0 files (raw files). It is written in C++ and offers
wrapping to the following target languages (via the use of swig):
* Python (supported),
* C# (supported),
* Java (testing),
* PHP (experimental).

It attempts to support all possible DICOM image encodings, namely:

* RAW,
* JPEG lossy 8 & 12 bits (ITU-T T.81, ISO/IEC IS 10918-1),
* JPEG lossless 8-16 bits (ITU-T T.81, ISO/IEC IS 10918-1),
* JPEG 2000 reversible & irreversible (ITU-T T.800, ISO/IEC IS 15444-1),
* RLE,
* Deflated (compression at DICOM Dataset level),
* JPEG-LS (testing) (ITU-T T.87, ISO/IEC IS 14495-1),
* JPEG 2000 Multi-component reversible & irreversible (ISO/IEC IS 15444-2)
(not supported for now),
* MPEG-2 (not supported for now).

GDCM is designed under the XP definition and has a nightly dashboard
(CMake/CTest/Dart).
