How to write a DICOM's Application in PHP

Juan Rodriguez Monti picture Juan Rodriguez Monti · Sep 2, 2010 · Viewed 8.9k times · Source

I would like to develop an Application in PHP that would be able to receive DICOM images from different DICOM's Devices connected to the same LAN.

I know there are some projects to work with DICOM and PHP, however AFAIK those projects don't support sending and receiving images through network.

I would like to know if you know if it's possible to develop an Application like this one with PHP. I would like to know if you've been working with PHP and DICOM and your experiences about this topic.

Thanks in advance. Juan

I wrote a PHP class that uses the DICOM Toolkit that'll do what you need. It can read and write DICOM tags, do JPEG conversions, and send and receive via DICOM. You can find it here: http://thevedic.net/projects/class_dicom_php/
