Reading the value of DICOM Tag "Image Position"

#1 Post by helioars »

Hello,

I would like to read the dicom tag value of "Image Position" [ 0028, 0032 ].
How to read the image position x, y and z coordinate values.

[code]
pDataset->findAndGetOFString(DCM_ImagePositionPatient,ofStringDicomField).good(){
lpszDicomField = ofStringDicomField.data();
nDicomFieldLength = strlen(lpszDicomField);
// copy the data in my structure
}
[/code]

If actual value of image position is [-195.000000\-195.000000\-1016.000000]
I can retrieve only the x-coordinate value i.e. -195.00000

how do i get the other y and z coordinate values.

Thanks..

There is a "pos" parameter for the findAndGetXXX() methods, which has a default value of "0". Reading the documentation would certainly help :-)
