single dataset each frame different metadata

[srabino5]

Hello all,

I'm using the dcmtk package to create dicom files.
I have a dataset with multiple frames (like I want). Is there are a way to set different metadata for each individual frame?

Hi,

what kind of SOP Class you create?

Which meta data you refer to?

My SOP class is MRImageStorage

Meta data, ImagePositionPatient (0020,0032) and InstanceNumber (0020,0013).

MR Image Storage is single frame.

So no need for more meta data If you want multi-frame, use Enhanced MR Image Storage.

I'm using Enhanced MR Image storage now, but I still do not know how to change the ImagePositionPatient and InstanceNumber per a frame.

Hi,

look into the standard part 3, look into the Multi-frame Functional Groups Module referenced by the Enhanced MR IOD.

You can insert the related functional group sequences and their respective items yourself using the existing dcmdata API.

Within the next days we will also add a dedicated API for that, based on a module called "dcmfg".

Best regards,
Michael
