1.实现目标

本文在UE5中读取本地的dicom文件，解析像素值、窗宽窗位等信息，生成2D纹理，在UE场景中实现简单的2D医学影像可视化

在这里插入图片描述

2.实现过程

包括数据准备，dicom三方库在UE工程中的集成，dicom文件中像素值，窗宽窗位Tag的解析，纹理的生成，显示处理的材质等，以实现最终在UE场景中显示2D医学影像

2.1 数据准备

（1）基于开源的dicom数据，链接在文章第三部分参考资料中

在这里插入图片描述

（2）在Radiant Viewer中选择一张dicom查看，如下图所示，也是此次本地使用的单张单帧dicom测试数据

在这里插入图片描述

2.2 创建项目

创建引擎自带的 C++项目，这里不再赘述

2.3 dcmtk库集成

由于gdcm库在集成过程中，有较多的冲突需要解决，为了集成方便起见，所以本文这里直接对dcmtk库进行集成。（直接使用github上编译好的库，也可以下载源码自己本地编译）

（1）以插件的形式集成三方库，这也是目前UE官方所推荐的方式。这里使用的是空白的插件模板。

在这里插入图片描述

（2）插件目录，其中后续使用的usf等shader相关文件，都放在Shaders文件夹中。
第三方库dcmtk的相关内容，都放在插件source中的ThirdParty文件夹下

在这里插入图片描述

（3）下载dcmtk库，直接从github上下载dcmtk的release版本（https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk/releases）
其中包含了需要的头文件，以及静态库lib和动态库dll等。（也可以下载源码，自己本地编译）

在这里插入图片描述

（4）在插件的Build.cs中配置对三方库的引用，防止找不到头文件或者库等报错

在这里插入图片描述

插件的build.cs完整代码如下所示：

// Copyright Epic Games, Inc. All Rights Reserved.using System.IO;
using UnrealBuildTool;public class DicomVIS : ModuleRules
{public DicomVIS(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target){PCHUsage = ModuleRules.PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] {// ... add public include paths required here ...});PrivateIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] {// ... add other private include paths required here ...});PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[]{"Core","ImageWrapper"// ... add other public dependencies that you statically link with here ...});PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[]{"CoreUObject","Engine","Slate","SlateCore",// for custom shaders"RenderCore"});DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.AddRange(new string[]{// ... add any modules that your module loads dynamically here ...});PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] { Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "ThirdParty/dcmtk/include")	});string libPath = Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "ThirdParty/dcmtk/lib");string[] allLibs = Directory.Exists(libPath) ? Directory.GetFiles(libPath, "*.lib") : new string[0];PublicAdditionalLibraries.AddRange(allLibs);string dllPath = Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "ThirdParty/dcmtk/bin");string[] allDlls = Directory.Exists(dllPath) ? Directory.GetFiles(dllPath, "*.dll") : new string[0];foreach (string currentDll in allDlls){string dllName = Path.GetFileName(currentDll);PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add(dllName);// copy dll to project directory binaries dirstring targetDllPath = Path.Combine(PluginDirectory, "../../Binaries/Win64/" + dllName);RuntimeDependencies.Add(targetDllPath, currentDll);}}
}

（5）集成过程中可能会遇到的问题

① 引入dcmtk库相关头文件时，verify、check等宏冲突

报错如下所示：

解决方法：

// DCMTK uses their own verify and check macros.
// Also, they include some effed up windows headers which for example include min and max macros for that
// extra bit of _screw you_
#pragma push_macro("verify")
#pragma push_macro("check")
#undef verify
#undef check#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcdatset.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcdeftag.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcfilefo.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcpixel.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmimgle/dcmimage.h"#pragma pop_macro("verify")
#pragma pop_macro("check")

②"UpdateResourceW": 不是 "UTexture2D" 的成员，原因是dcmtk中引用了windows的相关头文件WinBase.h中已经定义了相关的宏

2.4 流程&原理

使用dcmtk库解析dicom数据中的像素数据，以及窗宽窗位等数据，再按照dicom标准的显示处理流程处理即可。
（完整源码在本文2.6部分，此部分仅作为原理说明）

（1）使用dcmtk库解析dicom数据中的像素值，和窗宽窗位tag信息，这三个信息是显示的必要参数

直接根据相关tag解析即可，本文这里使用的无符号的16bit测试数据，其他类型暂无考虑（原理相同，参数修改下即可）

在这里插入图片描述

（2）窗宽窗位特殊处理

在上一篇文章中介绍了常规的dicom数据显示流程，即先根据slope和intercept进行modality变换，在根据windowCenter和windowWidth等进行VOI变换。但本文这里是直接将没有经过modality变换的原始像素值直接生成了2D纹理，后续的显示处理都在shader中处理，所以这里直接对窗宽窗位应用modality反变换，这样就在shader中节约了一次modality变换的消耗

在这里插入图片描述

（3）创建纹理并更新像素数据

在这里插入图片描述

（4）最终显示：使用材质处理完成后，在Plane等StaticMesh的载体上显示即可

2.5 材质

关于dicom显示过程中的一些特殊处理，如VOI变换等，可以使用Material Function等方式，为了后续使用的方便，本文这里使用usf的shader方式实现

（1）在插件中添加对shader文件夹的映射，以便可以在材质编辑器中使用。

// find shaders
FString shaderDir = FPaths::Combine(FPaths::ProjectPluginsDir(), "DicomVIS/Shaders/");
AddShaderSourceDirectoryMapping("/DicomVIS", shaderDir);

在这里插入图片描述

（2）在UE编辑器中创建材质，并设置为Unlit无光照模式，以避免UE中光照对dicom医学影像造成的颜色偏差等

在这里插入图片描述

（3）该材质的主要节点如下所示。其中SliceTex参数为dicom像素值生成的2D纹理，WindowWidth和WindowCenter为窗宽窗位信息，DataRange为数据的范围，如本文使用的G16格式纹理，则该值为65535；若材质为G8格式的纹理，则该值为255

在这里插入图片描述

（4）新建usf，用于dicom显示过程中的VOI变换

float GetVOITransformation(float inputValue, float windowCenter, float windowWidth, float range)
{return saturate((inputValue - windowCenter + 0.5 / range) / (windowWidth - 1.0 / range) + 0.5);
}

在这里插入图片描述

（5）新建自定义材质节点，并设置输入和输出的参数类型

在这里插入图片描述

（6）设置自定义材质节点的Code和包含头文件路径，以便可以在材质中使用usf中的函数

在这里插入图片描述

2.6 应用实现

包括具体的实现步骤，可以在UE中Editor环境下加载Dicom数据，生成2D纹理和最终显示。
本文这里只演示了16位无符号的dicom数据处理流程，其他类型的类似，需要修改生成材质的格式等参数即可

（1）dicom解析，以及生成纹理的相关功能，本文这里基于ActorCompoent实现，具体C++代码如下所示：
