Number of images in a DICOM file

[islobell]

I'm using the following code to get the number of frames (images) in a DICOM file, and the result is always the same: Tag not Found.

OFCondition status = file.getDataset()->findAndGetLongInt(DCM_NumberOfFrames, nNumOfImages); //Tag not Found !!!

But if I use DcmImage class, it works !

DicomImage image(strDICOMFileName);
nNumOfImages = image.getFrameCount(); //It works !!!!

WHY?

Thanks.

What is the number of frames in this case? Single-frame images are not required to have this attribute. What does dcmdump say? Does the file have a Number of frames tag (0028,0008)?
