Is it possible to read Dicom images (which are widely used in medical field) using D language?
Dicom specifications are given here.
There is some discussion on this topic on this page but no details on this forum.
I do not think there are any specific d library for this purpose but there are many C libraries available, e.g. :
https://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en
and
https://github.com/dgobbi/vtk-dicom
There is some discussion here on using C for reading Dicom files on this forum.
Can one of these libraries be used to read Dicom images in D language?
PS: Sample Dicom images are available here.
Imebra (C++ DICOM library) provides a SWIG idl that is used to generate Java & Python wrappers for the C++ library.
Some tweaks to the SWIG idl should allow also the generation of wrappers for D.

Edit: detailed instructions
- download the Imebra Source Distribution
- cd into the distribution root folder
mkdir buildcd buildcmake ..make- libimebra.so will be in the build folder
cd ../wrappersmkdir dlangswig -d -d2 -c++ -I../library/include/ -outdir dlang -o dlang/dlang_wrapper.cxx swig.i- The option -d2 tells to create a wrapper for D2 (phobos), otherwise the wrappers will be for D1 (Tango)
g++ -shared -o ../build/libimebra_wrap.so -fPIC -I../library/include dlang/dlang_wrapper.cxx- now the build folder will contain
libimebra.so (the standard Imebra library) and libimebra_wrap.so (the wrapper for D).
- include both
imebra.d and imebra_im.d in your D project (imebra_im.d is used by imebra.d)
