Create DicomDir

[lavoiekeven]

Hi i'm trying to create a dicomdir and having some problem
I'm working with DCMTK 3.5.4

here what i'm doing :


{
DicomDirInterface dcmDir;

dcmDir.createNewDicomDir(DicomDirInterface::Ap_Default, "c:\\Temp\\DICOMDIR");

dcmDir.addDicomFile("DICOM\\VIEW0001","c:\\Temp");

dcmDir.writeDicomDir()
}

i have a file VIEW0001.dcm in C:\\Temp\\DICOM\\

i have also try to do :

OFCondition cond;
cond = dcmDir.checkDicomFile("DICOM\VIEW0001","c:\\Temp");

and the error return in cond is "No such File or Directory"

what i'm doing wrong ??

I'have done a test by removing the extention .dcm and the error in cond is :"Storage media application profile violated"

A file extension is not allowed for DICOM files referenced from a DICOMDIR!

and the error in cond is :"Storage media application profile violated"

This means that you are trying to add a DICOM file to the DICOMDIR which is not allowed according to the selected application profile (i.e. STD-GEN-CD).

It would probably help if you would first try to create a DICOMDIR using the ready-to-use tools dcmgpdir and/or dcmmkdir. Of course, you should also understand what a DICOMDIR and a Media Storage Application Profile is. Please read the DICOM standard for details (especially part 10-12).
