DICOM @ OFFIS

I tried your code. For what it's worth: it works fine on my system.

Judging from your output it seems the DICOM dictionary has not been loaded. I do not know if this could be the problem though.

Are you sure the content of your path variable is correct?

Correct example:
"C:\\SomeSubDirectory\\Test\\DICOMDIR"

Incorrect example:
"C:\SomeSubDirectory\Test\DICOMDIR"

I am adding some Q/R functionality to my software and I would like to write a function that checks and corrects the C-FIND request before sending it out. To do this correctly this function needs to know at which level (patient, study, series or composite object instance level) each attribute is defi...

It seems your PACS thinks it did actually sent you something, so you could check the following things: - Are you actually waiting for DICOM messages (image?) at the port number that is specified for JCKOSIOR in the PACS (just to make sure you don't think you should be listening at the port you speci...

Hello Juan, #1. The Unique IDentifier for a DICOM image you should be using is the SOP Instance UID (0008,0018). It is mandatory and unique for all DICOM images. #2. Very often a medical system only accepts communications with known other systems. Therefore the other systems will have to be configur...

I had some unexpected behaviour of my software which may be caused by a bug in DcmPixelData::hasRepresentation: DcmPixelData::hasRepresentation checks if an appropriate representation of the pixel data is available. However, since DcmPixelData::findConformingEncapsulatedRepresentation returns either...

You are right, I had forgotten to delete part of my libaries.

thanks,

Some time ago I wrote a program to insert a VOI LUT into a DICOM image using the DCMTK v3.5.3 libraries. After upgrading to DCMTK 3.5.4 I noticed that the data type for my LUT Data (0028,3006) has changed from "OW" to "UN" (unknown). This appears to be caused by a change in dicom...

Ok, I still think the name isIconImage is confusing , but at least I understand why it was implemented this way now. Thanks for the explanation.

Adding a function to enable the user to set or unset the isIconImage mark would indeed solve my problem, but I think it is an (ugly) work-around. Personally, I would prefer having all (and only) Icon Images marked with isIconImage , and maybe private elements with isPrivate . This would be clearer a...

I have written a program for JPEG2000 compression of DICOM files, but it does not work when an icon image is present. I chose not to compress the icon image, because it is not required by the DICOM standard (PS 3.5-2004, page 63: "Pixel Data within an Icon Image Sequence may or may not be compr...

One of my colleagues recently discovered that the 14 bpp images we have been compressing using dcmcjpeg, are not compressed completely lossless. The images are in fact being scaled to 16 bpp prior to compression (using a gain and an offset), hereby changing the pixel values irreversibly. While check...
