It is a newer, focused medical-imaging package built around fast metadata/frame access rather than general image rendering. ### Projektgeschichte The upstream README describes libdicom as a free, MIT-licensed, fast, cross-platform, dependency-light C library and command-line toolkit for DICOM WSI files. It returns compressed frame data rather than RGB pixel arrays, and points users who want image processing toward OpenSlide 4.0 and later. GitHub release notes show 1.0.x, 1.1.0, and 1.2.0 release-candidate work with fixes for memory use, thread-safety documentation, pointer ownership, DICOM catenation support, faster reads for files with an Extended Offset Table, and command-line behavior improvements. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The package's adoption story is tightly connected to DICOM WSI and OpenSlide. The README states that OpenSlide 4.0 and later use libdicom to implement DICOM support, making libdicom a small but important bridge between medical-imaging standards and common open-source slide tooling. ### Wie es verwendet wird Developers use the C API or Python bindings to inspect metadata and read compressed frame payloads from DICOM WSI files. Command-line users get dcm-dump for structured inspection and dcm-getframe for frame extraction workflows. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren libdicom is package-nerd interesting because it is a specialized C dependency created for a standards-heavy domain, has no broad dependency stack of its own, and lets larger imaging tools support DICOM WSI without each implementing frame indexing and parsing independently. ### Zeitleiste - 2023: OpenSlide 4.0 adoption of libdicom for DICOM WSI support was described in the libdicom README image/context. - 2024: libdicom 1.1.0 release notes recorded memory-use, docs, pointer-ownership, and thread-safety improvements. - 2025: libdicom 1.2.0-rc1 release notes added DICOM catenation support and faster reads for files with an Extended Offset Table but no fragmented-pixel-data sequence. - 2026: The README build example referenced libdicom 1.3.0 source-tree naming. ### Related projects - Imaging Data Commons is the upstream organization. OpenSlide 4.0 and later are the most important adjacent consumer named by upstream, while pylibdicom provides Python access to the C library. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** libdicom - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - libdicom: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/li/libdicom/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - libdicom - 1.3.0-1.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: libdicom from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | C library and tools for reading DICOM data sets | https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/libdicom - dnf - libdicom-devel - 1.3.0-1.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: libdicom-devel from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Development files for libdicom | https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/libdicom - dnf - libdicom-doc - 1.3.0-1.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: libdicom-doc from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Documentation for libdicom | https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/libdicom - dnf - libdicom-tools - 1.3.0-1.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: libdicom-tools from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Tools for decoding DICOM files | https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/libdicom - pacman - libdicom - 1.3.0-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: libdicom from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | C library and tools for reading DICOM data sets | https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/libdicom - MacPorts - libdicom: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: science/libdicom/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [meson](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/meson/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ninja](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/ninja/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [openslide](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/openslide/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [gdcm](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/gdcm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, dicom, medical-imaging, science. - [dcm2niix](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dcm2niix/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, dicom, medical-imaging, science. - [dcmtk](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dcmtk/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, dicom, medical-imaging, science. - [itk](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/itk/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, medical-imaging, science. - [abpoa](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/abpoa/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, science. - [calceph](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/calceph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, science. - [cddlib](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cddlib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, science. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
