GridDICOM

GridDICOM

GridDICOM is a GSI-enhanced Java DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) implementation for GSI (Globus)-based grid infrastructures. It can be used to achieve a direct and secure DICOM communcation in health grids.

The implementation contains a Java-library of a patched dcm4che implementation together with several classes and tools to establish GSI-based DICOM connection. The following image illustrates a typical GridDICOM-handshake.

Support

The library has been developed in the course of the MediGRID project which ended in 2008. Hence, unfortunately, the support is currenly limited, if at all. You can try the help forums on www.sourceforge.net/projects/griddicom

Build and install

• The library can be build with ant. The package includes a build file.
• To install, copy the gdcm.jar and the libraries from lib to your classpath.
