DICOM @ OFFIS

when your saying running storescu with sudo is a bad idea , what is the reason for that ? A tool should, in general, always run with the least required privileges. storescu does not need root access rights. The only possible reason might be that it runs as a user that cannot access the DICOM files ...

You are not linking all required libraries. Your DCMTK has been compiled to include zlib and libwrap support, so you need to link against libwrap (-lwrap) and zlib (-lz).

This is not something that can be solved in DCMTK. The writeBMP() method simply uses fopen() to create a file. Such a file always has the owner corresponding to the process creating the file, and access rights 0666 (read-write permission for owner, group and others) as modified by the process umask,...

Your error description is not detailed enough to provide any help. Which platform (OS, compiler, version) are you using, which commands are you calling, what are the error messages printed?

The missing symbols are definitely in libtiff. Check if libtiff is really installed, and whether you do have a arm64 version installed. Check the CMake log files do determine the precise call to the linked, and whether the right libtiff file is referenced there. We have a nightly build of DCMTK on M...

Don't set the photometric interpretation manually.

The DCMTK Forum has been updated to the latest phpBB release 3.3.11 today.
In the case that anyone should experience unexpected problems caused by the update, please let us know.

That does not sound normal. img2dcm should produce a file that is not much larger than the combined size of the JPEG files, plus a few kbytes max. The DICOM file will still be in compressed format. If you decompress it (e.g. by using dcmdjpeg), the size will of course increase. If you manually conve...

We usually receive pull requests via the DCMTK mirror on GitHub https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk Note, however, that support for the uncompressed encapsulated transfer syntax requires modifications rather deeply in the DICOM parser. This is not a trivial task, and unless you have multiple years of exp...

img2dcm has the ability to take multiple images and write them into a DICOM Multiframe Secondary Capture Image file.
You need to use the --new-sc command line option and can then simply specify multiple input files on the command line.

Otherwise, compile a debug version and execute it in a debugger. The debugger will normally show exactly the place where the crash happens (unless something like a stack corruption happens).

If I understand the question correctly, you want to convert a color image into a monochrome image. That requires calculation of the gray values using the RGB to gray conversion formula, the computation of a new PixelData array, and the adaptation of a few attributes such as Samples per Pixel, Photom...

If I may say so, your client does not know what he is requesting 8) This is not a list of SOP classes, but a list of transfer syntaxes (i.e. encodings). Some of these have never been used by anyone and long since removed from the DICOM standard (e.g. most of the retired JPEG processes), and some are...

No. It is on the "to do list", but not yet implemented (and not likely to get done soon).

ANNOUNCEMENT Version 3.6.8 of the OFFIS DCMTK (DICOM toolkit) software is now available for public release.
