Abstract :
Objective Converting DICOM Multi-frame image to multimedia format is implemented. Methods By parsing DICOM structure, using DCMTK as supportive toolkit and based on object-oriented programming, pixel data in DICOM multi-frame image are written into multimedia file. Results A lot of images are tested from different modalities such as MR, NM, XA, etc. And all of them can be converted to multimedia format very well. Conclusion Converted multimedia files can fully meet the demand, which facilitate physicians for better observing the dynamic process of the examining position of patients.
