DICOM @ OFFIS

Hi, I have a C++/ dcmtk application that uploads a DICOM data to an Orthanc server and another application that tries to retrieve that data and visualizes it. So far the upload part works because I can see my data uploaded in Orthanc via any browser, I can also view the png that is uploaded in the O...

There is a command line tool cda2dcm that encapsulates a cda document in a DICOM object but is there a tool to extract it as well?

Thank you for the answer

Hi,

I'm able to encapsulate a pdf in a dicom object and a cda document in another dicom object, but is it possible to encapsulate both in 1 DICOM object. If so, what would the risks be for implementing such a design?

Thank you very much for the info....greatly appreciated

In the link you provided earlier, I clicked on the "Encapsulated Document - SOP Common C12.1 " link which lead me to http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part03/sect_C.12.html#sect_C.12.1 and there I see that these attributes are of type 1 and those are mandatory, right??

J.Reismeier, thank you very much, it's always good to have somebody else look at the code. I was too focused on the dataset side and adding the correct attributes that I didn't see the uninitialized transfersyntax. It works now DcmFileFormat _fileformat( dataset ); OFCondition result = _fileformat.s...

I added my code in the first posting where I created a DcmDataset* in the beginning and the start populating DcmDataset. I save the dataset to a dicom file with this DcmFileFormat _fileformat( dataset ); E_TransferSyntax writeXfer; result = _fileformat.saveFile("c:\\temp\\test.dcm", writeX...

Based on J.Reismeier's comment and the link he supplied Encapsulated CDA IOD I have added all the mandatory dicom attributes ( by my best knowledge ) but still the dicom object is 1 kb. I can encapsulate a pdf though but not a CDA file. These where the missing tags dataset->putAndInsertString(DCM_Ac...

I'm encapsulating a cda structured file in my dicom file, the file gets uploaded to my DICOM/PACS Orthanc server but how can I verify that the dicom file holds the cda file? I could view an encapsulated pdf document with the Osimis dicom viewer, but how to confirm the cda (xml) file? OFCondition res...

By the way, we are getting off-topic now. The purpose of this discussion forum is to answer DCMTK-related questions, not general DICOM questions.

agreed .... I think I'll try the CDA approach, thanks for your help

J.Reismeier, the xml document holds eye topography data OPM modality( e.g. astigmatism related values for cataract surgery ), I guess it can be considered as a CDA file but then I have to change a couple of XML tags so it will match the HL7 CDA structure guidelines but I'm not sure which tags to use...

Yes, I have compiled it myself and just recompiled it again .... and it works. But I might have posted a bit too early because I read a bit more in detail about this and found out that xml2dcm ( in contrary to pdf2dcm ) is not what I thought it would do. The question remains how can I encapsulate a ...

So I thought I give it a shot to encapsulate a xml in a DICOM object and upload that, since I'm able to upload a PDF encapsulated document in DICOM with the help of J.Reismeier ( thanks, again ). I tried the command line tool first xml2dcm but that failed with the following message xml2dcm requires ...
