maybe, you're right: Summarize all medical imaging related project in one category and retire "Control of medical devices". > I guess it would help if people who are using these tools could answer the > following questions about the projects: I personally used e.g. the "dicom3tools" which are great for converting old proprietary image formats to DICOM. David Clunie the author of this toolkit (and current editor of the DICOM standard) still works on it and makes work-in-progress versions available as time permits. However, there are obviously no "official" releases of this toolkit (any more). Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about the Java implementations since I never used them. Btw, the PixelMed toolkit has also been developed by David Clunie. The other one I listed (dcm4che) has mainly been developed by Gunter Zeilinger from TIANI (Vienna). Of course, there are other toolkits ... > Thanks for these links. We should probably add these to the web page. With regard to the DICOM standard you should possibly also refer to the website where the DICOM standard can be downloaded free of charge (http://medical.nema.org/ or http://www.dclunie.com/dicom-status/status.html which is more up-to-date) and to the DICOM newsgroup comp.protocols.dicom. Maybe, it would be worth asking readers of the newsgroup to contribute to your Debian-Med project. At least you could make it more "visible" in the DICOM community :-) Regards, Joerg
