DICOM @ OFFIS

Hi, hm, for a specific file: Maybe you can "repair" it by writing implicit VR first and then again revert to explicit VR, using dcmconv? dcmconv --write-xfer-implicit wrongsq.dcm implicit.dcm and then dcmconv --write-xfer-little implicit.dcm nowcorrecectsq.dcm Of course, you may have other...

Hi,

Sorry, from this mixture of text and a bit code no diagnosis is possible. Maybe it's worth just looking into DCMTK's echoscu tool for a very simple DICOM echo client.

Hi,

of course this doubled declaration is not intended that way Thank you for the report, I fixed this in CVS so the changes will be part of the next snapshot.

Thanks for posting, that might help other people wanting DCMTK within Eclipse

Hi Frank,

Finished building target: dcmtkDumper

fine !

i'm now writing a tutorial

That's a good idea; just insert a link into this thread so maybe others can find you tutorial when searching the forum

Download DCMTK source code, and compile it with ./configure and make as described in the INSTALL file (comes with source code). Look (e. g.) how dcmdump.cc is compiled to dcmdump executable during the "make" execution. You see something like this: c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDEBUG -c -I. -I. -I....

Hi,

use -DHAVE_CONFIG_H. Use the same defines for your DCMTK-related code that is being used when building DCMTK itself with configure/make (you can copy from console). Of course only one DCMTK-include directory must be given (as you also specified correctly).

Hi,

no idea what this question is about...could you please clarify it ?

Hi Mike, If you did not, please try the current snapshot version instead of version 3.5.4. However, I have no idea...I don't see any possibility to guess the reason for this error. Maybe anonymizing the file with dcmodify "manually" helps (if there is only few patient-related info in the f...

Hi Mike,

first use -v -d to get more information about where the error occurs. However, I guess it might be difficult to find the problem without the corresponding file. ould you provide a sample image to dicom (at) offis (dot) de? Did you use version 3.5.4 or a current snapshot?

Ah, now I understood your request, after also looking deeply into the file you provided. I first thought you were talking about explicit/implicit length coding but not about explicit VR. The problem is indeed, that the elements inside the mentioned sequence are actually explicitly encoded (with VR) ...

Hi Shaeto, I'm not sure I understand the problems with the file you sent (with tag 0018,9321). With the current dcmdump (with +E) it shows: (0018,9321) SQ (Sequence with explicit length #=1) # 88, 1 CTExposureSequence (fffe,e000) na (Item with explicit length #=1) # 80, 1 Item (0018,9324) FD 0\1.149...

Hi, your PDF file is invalid as far as I understand. From your file: %PDF-1.4 verypdf.com According to the PDF specification , instead of a space character (0x20) after the version number there must be a line feed or carriage return, from the specification (see chapter 7.5) This sub-clause describes...

Hi,

dcm2pnm or dcm2jpnm don't support any MPEG data; DCMTK in general does not contain dedicated support for compressing or decompressing MPEG2 data streams (however, you can send with the network tools, e. g. storescu or storescp).

Hi Shaeto, Per, Yve, I've uploaded a snapshot ( to the well-know location ) which includes two enhancements: 1) It offers a new global parsing flag which can be set to allow for parsing private attributes, in implicit VR, with maximum length value as a sequence, regardless of what the dictionary say...
