Conversion to/from the internal model and DICOM SR for annotations and other
types of objects.
# History
- 2014
- [DCMTK](dcmtk.org) cross compiled to javascript at [CTK Hackfest](http://www.commontk.org/index.php/CTK-Hackfest-May-2014). While this was useful and powerful, it was heavyweight for typical web usage.
- 2016
- A [Medical Imaging Web Appliction meeting at Stanford](http://qiicr.org/web/outreach/Medical-Imaging-Web-Apps/) and [follow-on hackfest in Boston](http://qiicr.org/web/outreach/MIWS-hackfest/) helped elaborate the needs for manipulating DICOM in pure Javascript.
- Based on [DICOM Part 10 read/write code](https://github.com/OHIF/dicom-dimse) initiated by Weiwei Wu of [OHIF](http://ohif.org), Steve Pieper [developed further features](https://github.com/pieper/sites/tree/gh-pages/dcmio) and [examples of creating multiframe and segmentation objects](https://github.com/pieper/sites/tree/gh-pages/DICOMzero) discussed with the community at RSNA
- 2017
- At [NA-MIC Project Week 25](https://na-mic.org/wiki/Project_Week_25) Erik Ziegler and Steve Pieper [worked](https://na-mic.org/wiki/Project_Week_25/DICOM_Segmentation_Support_for_Cornerstone_and_OHIF_Viewer)
with the community to define some example use cases to mix the pure JavaScript DICOM code with Cornerstone and [CornerstoneTools](https://github.com/chafey/cornerstoneTools).
- 2018-2022
- Work continues to develop SR and SEG support to [OHIFViewer](http://ohif.org) allow interoperability with [DICOM4QI](https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/qiicr/dicom4qi/details)
- 2023
- Moved the adapters into cornerstone3D from dcmjsj
