DICOM @ OFFIS

I am using DCMTK to open DICOM files programmatically. I load it into a DcmDataset and pass that into a DicomImage constructor. I have run across a file that won't open, and the getStatus() from the resulting DicomImage object is EIS_MissingAttribute. How do I go about determining which attribute th...

I shouldn't have to ask this, but I've been working on other stuff in a while and can't remember anymore -- how do I do the "make gendeftag" and "make dcdictzz.cc" in Visual Studio?

Ah - great, thanks for the directions. I'll move my changes to my dicom.dic file.

I gather there's no estimate on an updated release?

Hi all. I'm working on defining the DCM_* tags in dcdeftag.h to support the additions to the standard by WG 25. Here's the first part, I'll post more as I get them defined. Is there anything I need to consider as I add these to my copy? #define DCM_PatientSpeciesDescription DcmTagKey(0x0010, 0x2201)...

I have successfully recompiled all the support libraries using the /MD flag. I can package them up in a zip file if Offis would like to host them somewhere, such as an alternate download to dcmtk-3.5.4-win32-i386-support.zip. (The one variation is a newer point releas of libtiff -- for some reason 3...

Hi! I have been hearing a little recently about the DICOM standard's [relatively] new MPEG support. Does DCMTK have any facilities that would accomodate that functionality? Would the MPEG binary image data just be added as the image object to the DICOM file object? Alternatively...given an M-JPEG-co...

Thank you!

Ah - so it sounds like I might be better of sticking with lossless format JPEG compression on those 12-bit images, correct? I had not considered lack of support from viewers as the source of the problem. (What is strange is I could have sworn that I was successful for quite a while in compressing th...

I've been using DCMTK for a while in an app to do both lossy and lossless compression on a variety of image types. Currently, 8-bit monochrome and color images compressed in both formats open normally in viewers, and lossless 12-bit images do too. However, lossy 12-bit images are generating "re...
