Conversion of DICOM Images to Common Standard Image Formats

Medicine (DICOM) standard is an image archive system which allow Itself to serve as an image manager that control the acquisition, retrieval, and distributions of medical images within entire picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).The DICOM technology is suitable when sending images between different departments within hospitals or/and other hospitals, and consultant. However, some hospitals lack the DICOM system. The image should be viewable, with common image viewing programs and its size should be small. So, our objective is to first analysing the DICOM file format, then find the file length. The length of the file is important information enable to proceed further with obtaining the image. The file length determines the image size and so it could be easily extracted. Useful pixel data and patient data are extracted. Pixel data are arranged in a square matrix, it is now ready to be saved in common standard image format like bmp, png, jpeg. Patient data are extracted in text file. Also we will have additional features such as Zoom in/out, rotate left/right. All this operations are performed in Java.
