1. ctkDICOM Showcase application showing the DICOM retrieve and browse functionality of different CTK components.

2. Basic functionality

   • Provide a database managing Patient, Study and Series information ** sql schema of header data ** Import local files ** Recursive traversal of directories ** Parsing of DICOMDIR files (WIP@DKFZ) ** Manage local database: delete files, re-index, (vacuum or other db admin as needed) ** Query and Retrieve data from PACS ** Search by different criteria ** Configure PACS settings ** Background listener that feeds into database ** Efficient Study/Series move requests (integrate incremental queries into ctkDICOMModel) ** Thumbnail preview of selected series ** Quick single slice view ** Zoom/pan *** Level window ** Search interface for local database (like Q/R search terms) ** Helper code for attaching new volume data into proper DICOM format and into database ** Store user code (send) ** Export from database to external directory (possibly with DICOMDIR)

• Structure Code for maximum reuses ** Utilize and enhance DcmSCU/DcmSCP code for core networking and contribute back to dcmtk where possible ** Provide ctk classes a Q_OBJECT wrappers around DcmSCU/P code ** Core for non-GUI helpers ** Widgets for QWidget subclasses ** All Q_OBJECT code should provide a rich property/invokable API plus plenty of signals and slots of that applications using the code can have customizability and user feedback ** Example helper applications like ctkDICOM, ctkDICOMIndexer, etc should be both demonstrations of the API and useful utilities in their own right

• Provide testing environment ** store/query/move/get tests ** example server (dcmqrscp) ** instructions for creating promiscuous server with cget so any user machine can test ctkDICOM networking
