DcmVision is a sample project for visionOS that demonstrates how to handle and visualize DICOM files. It serves as a reference implementation for integrating DICOM imaging into visionOS applications. Additionally, it provides an example of bridging standard Clang technologies to the Apple ecosystem by using Objective-C++.
This project requires some setup steps, which are outlined below.
Caution
This project is not intended for use in any medical production environment. It should only be used for R&D purposes.
- visionOS 2.0+
- Xcode 16+
- Patience and time to spare
This project utilizes multiple open-source, industry-standard libraries, including:
Since pre-compiled binaries for visionOS are not available, these libraries must be compiled manually.
Tip
This project includes a facility script: setup-dependencies.sh
At the top of setup-dependencies.sh, there is a variable named XRSDK, which is set to simulator by default. Developers can change it to os to switch from the simulator target to the visionOS target.
- Run Dependencies/setup-dependencies.sh and wait for everything to compile, including ITK, DCMTK, and Zlib.
- Manually bundle the ITK, DCMTK, and LIBZ install folders into the Xcode project.
- Ensure that each added dependency is correctly assigned to the build target when adding them to the Xcode project.
Important
The Header Search Path and Library Search Path must be correctly set in Xcode to locate external frameworks and libraries.
For the example to work, DICOM files (Data Sets) must be directly included in the application. To achieve this, use the pre-existing DicomFiles group and add all the required directories under it. Ensure that you select Add to Target when adding files; otherwise, they will not be bundled with the build product.
Build the Xcode project and enjoy!
