DICOM @ OFFIS

I have a DcmDataSet (ds) object and I am trying to edit some tag values in my code and I am using methods like: putAndInsertOFStringArray putAndInsertString putAndInsertUint16 putAndInsertFloat64 putAndInsertUint16Array Now, before I call any of these methods, should I call ds->remove(TAG_IDENTIFIER...

I am trying to use the DcmOutputBufferStream class so that I can have the DICOM file in memory. I need this because I am writing the file to an in memory zip archive. However, the file that is written to the ZIP archive is different from the one that I can save to the disk. Using orison to load the ...

Thanks for the reply! May I ask how I can know the size of the buffer that needs to be allocated for the DcmOutputBufferStream? As I understand it, I will need to allocate the buffer of the correct size and I wonder how I can compute this size from a DcmDataSet object which I aim to serialize into t...

I am using DCMTK to write DICOM files to disk and this works quite well. So, I briefly do something as follows: DcmDataset * ds = image->dcm_file_format->getDataset(); // Modify DICOM as needed... DcmFileFormat file_format(ds); file_format.saveFile(filename); This works quite well. However, I would ...

Hi all, I am trying to create a new DICOM file from an existing DICOM file. So, the scenario is that I have a DICOM file and I do some image processing on it and produce a transformed/processed file and I would like to save it using the original file as a template. The only things that change are 1:...

Hi everyone, I have a question about writing DICOM files. What I have is a DICOM volume that I segment. I want to write the result as another DICOM volume and what I was thinking was cloning the original DICOM volume and then simply changing some data fields like SeriesUID, description etc.. (whatev...

Thanks for your reply but there is no ld.conf.so on my mac...

Hi everyone, I have installed DCMTk and it is installed in my /usr/local/dicom folder with sub-directories for include, bin, lib, etc. So, what I want to do is use the libraries in my own project and I simply add FIND_PACKAGE(DCMTK required) in my CMakeLists.txt file. However, the paths to all the i...

Hi everyone, This might be a simple question but what I want to do is get the DICOM meta data information as a simple key/value structure. If possible, the keys which have multiple values can be concatenated... What I want to do is simple display the DICOM tags and values in a table...So if there is...

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply. You mention:

your call loads all elements into memory that are larger than the size (in bytes) given by DCM_MaxReadLength.

Don't you mean that all elements less than the size given by DCM_MaxReadLength are loaded?

Thanks,
Luca

Hi everyone, I am using the DCMTK library on Linux and have a need where I have to recursively scan and build volumes from files in a user specified directory. The problem is that I am running out of memory doing these scans. To arrange the DICOM files, I only need the information from the headers. ...

Hello,

Checked under the Makefile.def and found the following line:

Hello, I modified the include as you said, so now it looks as following: #include "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h" #include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcfilefo.h" #include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dcdatset.h" #include "dcmtk/ofstd/oftypes.h" This again works on windows with no problems (I...

Thanks! I will try it today!

Hi everyone, I have a project that works well on windows and linux and uses VTK along with DCMTK. I recently tried to port in to OS X and get the following errors from the DCMTK files. DCMTK had compiled and installed fine. My includes look as follows: #ifdef _WIN32 #include "dcmtk/config/cfwin...
