Description
DICOM CP 2301 "Clarify applicability of RLE and JPEG 2000 Transfer Syntax to single bit images such as binary segmentations" clarifies that DICOM images with one bit per pixel (such as scans or segmentations) can be compressed with RLE and JPEG 2000.
Currently the RLE codec in DCMTK does neither support the encoding nor the decoding of such images.
This feature is desirable for efficient storage of segmentation objects.
