DICOM @ OFFIS

Then your version of dcm2pnm has not been compiled with libpng support enabled. See output of "dcm2pnm --version".

You could enhance dcmscale in this regard. The underlying DicomImage class is the same as used by dcm2pnm.

Are you talking about the output in Native DICOM Model? The DCMTK-specific XML output format does not show this issue:

When I use dicmtk-3.6.5, I read drtstructuresetiod data and report the following warning: 2020-08-05 15:16:43 WARN: SOPClassUID (0008,0016) violates VR definition in SOPCommonModule (F:\opensource\DCMTK\dcmtk-3.6.5\dcmrt\libsrc\drttypes.cc:175) Have you checked whether the value of SOP Class UID (0...

Should i change anything in the tcpsrv.cfg file?

Sure. I would set: For the other questions, someone from OFFIS should provide an answer (since they made this software available to you).

I would try to disable the Presentation LUT SOP Class in the configuration file of the Print SCP (which requires the calibration of the output according to the GSDF).

See e.g. https://support.dcmtk.org/docs/classDcmFileFormat.html:

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:
dcmdata/include/dcmtk/dcmdata/dcfilefo.h

It would certainly be a bad idea to "add all header files" to your program. If you want to make use of the print() method that is also used by dcmdump, including the main header file of the dcmdata module (dcmtk/dcmdata/dctk.h) should do.

The word INCLUDE in the DICOM standard doesn't correspond to a value type, it's simply a kind of placeholder. In correspondence of the row marked with INCLUDE I have to nest the content of the TID I want to include by "indenting" it. This is almost correct: the nesting of the template's content is ...

Just read the standard: http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/cur ... 6.2.3.html

My question in short is: how can I include a sub template in my SR document tree? I would expect from dump, either textual or visual, to get the evidence of templates nesting. If you have an implementation of the SR template to be included (e.g. TID1204_LanguageOfContentItemAndDescendants ), you co...

What exactly is your question? What does not work (as expected)? By the way, you should always check the return value when calling a method (in this case, all methods return an OFCondition ). And, for many coded entries (e.g. all codes from the "DCM" coding scheme), there are definitions in the "dcm...

I personally do not work for OFFIS (any longer), so please contact the people at OFFIS directly (by email): https://dicom.offis.de/people.php.en

The public DCMTK (Open Source Software) does not support JPEG 2000 compression/decompression.
OFFIS provides an extension called DCMJP2K that fills this gap, but which is not free of charge.

Then you could use the command line tool dcmcjpeg with option --encode-baseline to create a JPEG Baseline compressed DICOM image.
