Download MODALIZER+Hi! Welcome to Dicom is Easy, guys!
My name is Roni and I'm so happy to have you here.
I live in Tel-Aviv, ISRAEL,
very close to the beach with my beautiful wife and our three charming boys.
I recently discovered that this blog, DICOM is Easy, is 15 years old! To celebrate the occasion, I decided to give it a little facelift. A lot have changed since then but much is still the same. I still do the same things as before, working from my laptop and surfing when possible. My kids are bigger now. The older is in the army, the second starts university soon and the young one is two years away from breaking out of school.

Düsseldorf, 2019 (Medica Trade Fair)I'm also the owner and CEO of H.R.Z. Software Services LTD, an Israeli software company focused on Healthcare Imaging, PACS and mostly ... DICOM. During the COVID pandemic, when we were all locked up, I join the team of Lev Hayam surf-club where I teach windsurfing lessons for beginners. |

But a man's got to do what a man's got to do
and I'm much better in programming than in windsurfing.
I'm so good at programming that I can make a living out of it!
I wish I could say that about windsurfing ...
Software programming is big like an ocean
and my career led me to charming little bay
on the beautiful coast line of medical applications
and this is what I do for quite a while now.
On the sports side I added surfing (no sail, just board) so when there's no wind there's sometimes waves and that's cool. I also started wing foiling but there's still a long road there before I can show off with decent pictures.

Like in the sea, the deeper you dive less fish do you see.
Eventually I realized that being a DICOM Expert makes more sense
when you have customers than when you are an employee.
And so, after more than a decade of software engineering positions,
And so, after more than a decade of software engineering positions,
I started my own consulting business that evolved
into a medical software workshop
and this is what I do nowadays.
I mean, when not surfing or windsurfing, of course ...
Hi Roni,
ReplyDeleteGreat site ! I've been working with DICOM now for 6 years and I've still just scratched the surface of understanding and not as a programmer either, thanks for sharing !
All the Best,

Hi Roni,
ReplyDeleteI have been working PACS system, DICOM viewer for 7 years. I can still get a lot useful information from your site. Thank you and good work.
Hi
ReplyDeletehow are you ? iam need to create dicom with multiframe and how to get all image from it
please help me
There are couple of methods for doing this:
DeleteTo create multiframe use: SetJpegFrames or SetBitmapFrames API.
See http://rzdcx.roniza.com/interface_i_d_c_x_o_b_j.html#a239517188fde822c3366adf1ee0978e7
To get the frames you can use DCXIMG GetBitmap: http://rzdcx.roniza.com/interface_i_d_c_x_i_m_g.html#a2b02ac8e09cda458ddb74ebcb04eb3bb
thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Rony,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your articles.
I am working on PACS, Dicom workstations and interfaces since last 8 years.
Your articles helped me understand some of the complicated concepts in simpler way.
Thanks for the work.

Roni,
ReplyDeleteWith the help of your site, I wrote some code that reads and reorients a study for display. All was working fine until I opened an axial series that was acquired F->H (opposite to what I had experienced) and my code had confused head & feet (so the coronal & sagittal slices were "upside down"). However, other DICOM viewers were not confused. I looked at the ImageOrientationPatient and two series (one acquired H->F and the other F->H but they looked (essentially) the same. See below.
Subject A) 1 \ -1.89e-010 \ 7.78e-011 \2.05e-010 \0.92 \-0.38
Subject B) 0.99 \-0.02 \ 0.038 \ 0.009 \0.958 \ 0.284
I *thought* one (or both) of the "1's" for one patient would be "-1".
I guess all I'm asking is how to determine the direction of acquisition from the DICOM header and whether this can be derived from the ImageOrientationPatient.
Toda,
Dan
Hi Dan,
DeleteCheck C.7.3.1.1.2 Image Position. It may be the difference
Roni
Roni,
ReplyDeleteMy understanding of all this is that I should be able to determine the direction in which images are acquired. For example, for images acquired axially, I thought that the ImageOrientationPatient parameters for a series acquired H->F would be the same as for a series acquired F->H except that one of the row or column projection would be -1 (instead of 1). HOWEVER, I have two series that fit the above description but the ImageOrientationPatient parameters are the same! So is the PatientPosition (HFS).
Am I missing something?
Toda,
Dan
Hi Dan,
DeleteVery sorry for the late response. I suspect that I stopped getting alerts when comments are made.
Is there a chance to get one file of each of the studies?
Put it in an encrypted zip file with password please.
Thanks
Roni
Respect! I'm also in DICOM and windsurfing, but with 2 children only :-)
ReplyDeleteIs that Tushingam sail?
Yes, that's an old 8.0 sail. I don't have it any more.

What is your advice about the start point to obtain informations about this field, PACS, RIS, HIS, DICOM and telemedicine in general?
Your blog is for now the best content I finded about DICOM for a begginer like me, good job.
toda raba!
ReplyDeletegood dicom tutorial
ReplyDeleteDo you have a method of converting a DICOM to video using powershell?
ReplyDeleteYes of course.
DeleteA friend of mine asked that I find a tool for her that will convert her U/S worksheets into a DICoM image. She has just started her mobile U/S service and I found this while looking for a PDF --> DICoM converter software. Please advise.
ReplyDeleteSure. Please email me.
DeleteHello Roni,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this helpful tutorial, it meant a lot to me as I entered the world of medical software only recently...even though I have been in software development for over 20 years.
I have a question for you, and it is regarding the RZDCX library and its licensing.
How can a license be obtained? It is a broken link on the H.R.Z. Software Services LTD website...
Thank you in advance.
Vladimir
Dear Vladimir,
DeleteSorry for the late reply. H.R.Z. DICOM library is now called MODALIZER-SDK and you can purchase licenses on HRZ website - www.hrzkit.com
Hello Roni,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this very helpful tutorial, I found it very useful as I am relatively new in the medical software (even though I have been in programming for over 20 years :) )
I have a question for you, regarding the RZDCX library - how can it be licensed?
The section on the H.R.Z website regarding licensing is a broken link.
Has the library maybe been discontinued?
regards,
Vladimir
Dear Vladimir,
DeleteThank you for your feedback. HRZ DICOM Library is now called MODALIZER-SDK and can be downloaded from our website at www.hrzkit.com.
Thanks,
