It would be great if we could store image data in DICOM files using high-speed compression/decompression and random access. Maybe what we learn from modern NRRD implementation (and hopefully even source code) can be used for DICOM files in the future.
CppNrrd could work, but it might not be fair to claim such a general name. I often find this a real issue in Python, where random people create a pyXYZ library and publish on pypi. For example, there is already a pynnrd implementation - if we don’t add any distinctive word then we could run into a name conflict if we want to release a Python version.
