DICOM @ OFFIS

Of course, professional consultancy is not free of charge. I didn't think so, but it was unclear what type of service was being offered. :) But now, you seem to follow the approach I proposed in one of my first postings in this thread: create a DICOMDIR based on a particular Application Profile and...

I forgot to try dcmdump.exe from DCMTK. That shows much of what I'm looking for with defaults. I will examine the options.

Your links do not work, probably because the GitHub project is not public. Sorry, I picked them from my repo and not the public DCMTK repo. Here are the ones that should work. https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk/blob/59f75a8b50e50ae1bb1ff12098040c6327500740/dcmdata/apps/dcmgpdir.cc#L615 https://github.c...

Does this mean that any entry that doesn't work with the new application profile is removed? No, entries are not removed but might get updated if needed, e.g. the Patient's Birth Date is added to an existing PATIENT directory record if a DICOMDIR is updated and this information is needed for the cu...

It depends, i.e. it should work if you only need to process JPEG-compressed images. However, JPEG2000-compressed images will not be supported by AP_GeneralPurposeDVDJPEG. If you need to support both, you should first create a DICOMDIR according to AP_GeneralPurposeDVDJPEG and then append the missin...

I figured it was unlikely I could use the MIME profile. Would you be able to answer my questions in the posts above the MIME post? Are there places that describe DICOMDIR usage more clearly and with cases for situations when you need to support any transfer syntax coming in? We don't have a UI for s...

I just noticed in dcddirif.cc

Why can't I just use that Application Profile so our code can accept all transfer syntaxes?

For the future, what happens when these actions are taken? DICOMDIR is created with an Application Profile. Files are added that can be supported by that profile. A file that needs a new profile is read. updateDIcomDir is called with the new file and the appropriate Application Profile. The API doc ...

P.S: I also tried with a self-built OpenSSL. It also works for my out of the box. Download Windows build of OpenSSL. I used this one (Win64 OpenSSL v3.3.1 MSI installer Download and build source code as described here: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation#W64 Configure DC...

Hi, I tried to use pre-built current version of OpenSSL to check building DCMTK with it. This is what I have done: Download Windows build of OpenSSL. I used this one (Win64 OpenSSL v3.3.1 MSI installer): https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html Configure DCMTK in CMake (no options set) When ...

Unfortunately there is no DICOM Conformance Statement for this product. Nor is there any documentation the provides the expected behavior. After looking at the comment for the version 3.5.4 of DCMTK, I believe the intent of the original developer was to use the STD-GEN-DVD profile class. I believe t...

As explained before, DCMTK 3.5.4 is almost 20 years old, so there are numerous changes between both versions and also a large number of bug fixes. I completely understand and it's an unfortunate situation. Regarding the Application Profiles: First, you need to find out what the application you are ...

How could you implement a standard or an application based on it without knowing at least some technical details? You don't have to understand all details but in this case you should at least understand what an Application Profile is and where you can find the details in the standard. This effort i...

Thanks. As I have said, I have taken over this code. It wasn't implemented by me. That's why I'm asking for guidance with this change. I have looked at the spec before asking some of these questions about DICOMDIR, but I didn't see anything that would help me understand the comparable change needed ...
