IFilters for index service for DICOM c#

Im trying to use Inde开发者_Go百科x service server for searching on DICOM files. I wanted to know if Index service does support .dcm and .dicom file extensions. I did read about IFilters but was unable to find any for DICOM files. Thanks!

The windows indexing service became "Windows Search" when XP came along.

I've never come across anyone using it for DICOM, but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to use the SDK to write a filter to pull DICOM tags out of files and index them.

However, I suspect it's just going to result in a massive amount of information overload; a DICOM study typically contains several series plus captures/derived series, and each series could be thousands of individual files (ok the latter less of a problem with modern extended DICOM and one-volume-per-file, but there's still a massive amount of per-slice-files out there and being produced). File-level indexing alone doesn't sound that useful. If Windows Search could be made aware of the hierarchy and let you search for studies/series that might be more interesting. But most people just keep their DICOM in a PACS of some sort which will generally have excellent DICOM-oriented search/navigation tools.
