Project Description
Objective
- Lay down a plan to handle DICOM object references in Slicer
Approach, Plan
- Notification that a DICOM dataset being loaded is referencing things, and asking the user if they would like to load those too. I think this should be done in DICOM browser at the time of examine/load.
- Marking the hierarchy entries that have resolved or unresolved dependencies in the subject hierarchy (this could be done by highlghting of rows in red/yellow, for example)
- Providing user with the mechanism to pull in unresolved dependencies (this could be done using "Related" pop-up menu in SH).
- Extend the ctkDICOMDatabase to cache references during the import process
- Reconcile the reference graph (which is a DAG) with the "composite context" (patient/study/series) which is a tree. They are handled quite differently in DICOM, but to me they should be very similarly handled and exposed to the user if possible (as it is in the subject hierarchy)
