DICOM @ OFFIS

Had exactly the same issue. However, it was the missing "lockfile" file in the "<dfp>/<AET>" folder.

Programming in C++ is a sophisticated task. Although I would recommend using DCMTK for performance, security and robustness reasons, I'm convinced that MATLAB >R2010 is able to handle 4D images. Try to linearize your 4D-array by using A(:) (mxnxoxp should be qx1 then) before writing to the file.

Hey Jörg,

yes, but since we're working in a CE-certified environment, we solely use releases that are declared as stable (although this is no warranty at all).
Is there a public roadmap for upcoming DCMTK releases?

Hey, here is a patch to successfully build DCMTK 3.6.0 with gcc 4.7.2 and CMake 2.8.10, tested on Ubuntu 12.10, 13.04 and on Fedora. diff -uNrb ./dcmtk-3.6.0/dcmimage/include/dcmtk/dcmimage/diargpxt.h ./dcmtk-3.6.0_p/dcmimage/include/dcmtk/dcmimage/diargpxt.h --- ./dcmtk-3.6.0/dcmimage/include/dcmtk...

Hi Michael,

I actually addressed chaircrusher, since he is obviously writing a new DICOMIO for ITK, which was previously done via GDCM and now, fortunately, via DCMTK. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Daniel

Me again, somewhat offtopic:
Since we are interested in the DCMTK ImageIO, could you please give a short statement to your planned roadmap at ITK? I certainly read your minutes from Dec2011; are there any target dates?
Daniel

What tool are you using? Have you tried ImplicitLength? What if you don't modify anything, but save the file again; can you read the file then?

We also have a similar problem at our institution; this is our approximate approach for reading both 2D images and 3D stacks: - in-plane spacing is read from tags (0x0028,0x0030) or (0x0018,0x1164) or (3002,0011), understanding the mentioned order as priority level (if (0x0028,0x0030) is not existin...

Wow, thanks a lot for the quick implementation!

Thank you, Uli!

I made some benchmarks using dcmStopParsingAfterElement, but it is not significantly faster. Anyway, all my questions are now answered.

Daniel

Thanks for your fast response. That was indeed the cause, got it now for SOPClassUID and SOPInstanceUID. But: I got some several tags that I further need (e.g. StudyInstanceUID). 1) where can I see, which tags are part of the dataset and 2) if StudyInstanceUID is part of the dataset, how can I quick...

Hey, well, i am trying, regarding the well documented feature described in http://support.dcmtk.org/wiki/dcmtk/howto/loadmetaheader to only load the meta-header (mainly for performance issues), but I always get a bad()-state: Approach 2: status = fileFormat->loadFile(dicomFileNames.at(idx).c_str());...

Oh well, nice Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, i'll have a look on it. However, it would be nice - especially for nested functions (since every element has exactly one parent) - to access parent nodes for example via: sequence->parent()->findAndGetOFString(...); sequence->parent()->parent()->findAndGetOFString(...); even t...

Hi there,

I am deeply nested into sequences of a DICOM RTPLAN. In a subfunction, I got a DcmSequenceOfItems object and I am trying to access the parent node in order to get some values there.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
