DICOM @ OFFIS

This question is not really related to the DCMTK but the answer can be found in DICOM PS3.5 Section 6.1. Also the Wikipedia article on Graphic character might be of some help.

Is it possible to construct an MWL similar to what I have such that there is a place for a referring physician ID and such that the MR scanner will be able to read the data that I have. The RIS actually has a physician ID and I want to put that into a searchable field in the DICOM tags. First of al...

Correct. This feature has not been implemented yet. See: https://support.dcmtk.org/redmine/issues/350

I personally never tested it but there is a patch for img2dcm that adds support for multi-frame images : https://support.dcmtk.org/redmine/issues/661
Maybe, this is helpful in order to enhance img2dcm in this regard.

The Basic Offset Table is too short: (7fe0,0010) OB (PixelSequence #=153) # u/l, 1 PixelData (fffe,e000) pi 00\00\00\00 # 4, 1 Item [...] The first item of the Pixel Data sequence should either be empty or contain the offset of each frame (in your case this item should contain 152 * 4 bytes = 608 by...

If the Q/R SCP supports these additional Query Keys, you could query e.g. for Number of Study Related Instances (0020,1208): http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/cur ... able_C.3-1

How are the "orientation markers" stored in the DICOM image? Burned into the pixel data, stored separately as overlay planes, ...?

By the way, you probably refer to the dcmj2pnm tool, right?

Thank you for the further explanations. To answer your question: No, there are no "tools" or any ready-to-use methods in the DCMTK to display a "ruler" (or the like) on a DICOM image.

OK, but then we will never find out whether it is a bug (in DCMTK) that may already have been fixed.

Could you please also test the wlmscpfs from DCMTK 3.6.5 (current release)?

What do you mean by "measuring a DICOM image"?

First question: which version of the DCMTK do you use?
Second question: does it work if you start wlmscpfs with option -dfr (--disable-file-reject)?

The public DCMTK does not support compression/decompression of JPEG 2000 image compression. The list of supported transfer syntaxes of the dcmj2pnm tool can be found in the documentation: https://support.dcmtk.org/docs/dcmj2pnm.html#dcmj2pnm_transfer_syntaxes OFFIS offers a commercial extension for ...

Could you make the files available without requiring to log in with a Google account?

If the SCP would correctly specify the character set used, e.g. (0008,0005) Specific Character Set = "ISO_IR 100", then findscu with option -Xs (and compiled with support for character set conversion) would convert the Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) encoding to UTF-8. The encoding in the XML header is always ...
