  ****** Simple Dicom Reader v2 (Sdr2) ******
  
Sdr2 (beta) is a simple tool to read and select series of Dicom images.
It's not intended as a Dicom viewer but rather as a converter from Dicom 
to Nifti (and Analyze) files.

If Dicom series are converted to Nifti, spatial information is considered.
If Dicom series are converted to Analyze, spatial information is not considered.
Time series are not taken care of.
  
Basically Sdr2 is a glue between Jeroen van der Waal's QT Dicom widgets and
DCMTK with some little extras from Johannes A. Koeppen.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qdcws and http://dicom.offis.de
  
Binaries for MS Windows are provided in the sdr2\build\sdr2_win32_binaries folder.  It should run on Windows XP, 7, and 8. 
  
  
Compilation of Sdr2
depends on Qt 4.8.x (https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/)
and DCMTK (http://dicom.offis.de/download/dcmtk/snapshot/old/).
DCMTK packages for GNU/Linux Debian and Ubuntu install like a breeze.
Compilation of DCMTK under MS Windows is pain in the ass.
Precompiled libraries of DCMTK for MinGW32 (http://www.mingw.org),
MSVC 2008 and 2010 Express (32-bit) are provided as zip compressed folders.  
  
Please make sure that environment variables 'QTDIR', 'QMAKESPEC', and 'DCMTK_BASEDIR' are set. And path has '%QTDIR%\lib;%DCMTK_BASEDIR%\lib.
  
Sdr2 has been compiled under openSUSE 12.3 64-bit, Debian 8 ("Jessie") 32 bit, MS Windows XP, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit, and Windows 8 32-bit.
Sdr2 has not been compiled under any Mac OS.
  
For MS Windows with MinGW or GNU/Linux you might want to open ./sdr2/build/sdr2.pro in Qt Creator (https://download.qt.io/archive/qtcreator) or run 'qmake sdr2.pro' from command line followed by mingw32-make or make.
  
'Solutions' for MSVC-2008/V9 and 2010/V10 can be found in the './sdr2/build' folder. 
You might need to copy '.\sdr2\zlib_MSVC_win32\include', \lib, and \bin to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A' (MSVC-2008) or \v7.0A (MSVC-2010).
