Iterate throught tags

[hieuhoang]

hiya all,

Is there a way to iterate through all tags in a DICOM file and get the tag id and value (as a string, for isntance) ?

i've looked at the code for dcmdump which prints out all tags, but the print() uses internal variable to the DcmDataset and DcmFileInfo class.

thx in advance

You can use either DcmItem::getElement() or DcmItem::nextObject() for this purpose. See dcmdata/include/dcitem.h for declaration, parameters etc.

thx,

found the link to this code frag, which was useful:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.pro ... bbf5b91d0f

i get the string value from each tag but this breaks when it encounters FFFE, E000 (sequence tags)

is there a way to iterate throught the tags and avoid problems like this?
