Overview
The astroid Dicom App is used to provide access to functions which are used for reading a dicom file and returning more useable standard data types, such as those from the RT Types App available on the thinknode framework. The astroid Dicom App device is not an interactive end user application. Users of the system will write scripts or use a fully interactive software program that makes calls to the functions provided by the astroid Dicom App. The core functionality includes parsing dicom RT_Plan, Structure Set, CT Image, and Dose file types.
