DICOM @ OFFIS

Yes Marco, that is what I was thinking as well. But I would have expected that updating to the latest LTS version of Ubuntu would do the trick, which it did not. Unfortunately ldd does not show me any dynamically linked libraries for these executables.

@Michael, Jörg: Thank you very much for sharing your experience! I really needed to solve the "root problem" urgently, which is that I need a self-contained distributable set of TLS test tools. So I gave the precompiled static binaries of the V3.6.5 release a try. They work fine on both, Ubuntu 16 a...

Dear Dcmtk-Team, for a self-contained test environment, I have downloaded the statically linked dcmtk-3.6.6 pre-compiled executables with openssl support from the download page (dcmtk-3.6.6-linux-x86_64-static-tls.tar.bz2). I first "installed" on an Ubuntu-16 virtual machine, i.e. I unpacked the bin...

For those who may find this helpful: My problem is now solved. Mainly, it was a stupid mistake resulting from not being much used to work with MS Visual Studio. The reason why CMake did not recognize the openssl version was apparently related to a previously built osconfig.h residing in the target d...

Dear DCMTK experts, I am desperatly struggling to compile the latest dcmtk release with the latest release of openSSL for Windows. I have obtained the source code for openSSL 1.1.1i and compiled/installed it successfully (which was a struggle of its own, since the latest version of the recommended A...

Dear forum reader, with the courtesy of the DCMTK team, I am allowed to announce a non-non-commercial DCMTK application here. We are happy to announce the release of DICOMconnect V03.00 which is a high-level DICOM-library for C++ based on DCMTK. DCMTK is a great toolkit – it has been offering robust...

Thank you very much Marco! I somehow missed to understand that the bug refers to *color* images where Bits Stored < Bits Allocated. I agree that this is not a very realistic scenario. Will look at the images anyway - thanks for providing them - but in fact your explanation is enough for me to assess...

Dear DCMTK team and - users, I am trying to assess the impact of known issues in DCMTK on our DCMTK based implementation. It looks fine except for Bug #369 (https://support.dcmtk.org/redmine/issues/369). I am having a hard time understanding what kind of images this bug refers to. So far I have seen...

Thank you very much for all your help, Jörg!

Now that I know that TS conversion ultimately happens upon writing the dataset to a file or a socket, I have completed my testcases and everything works as expected.

---->SOLVED

Thanks again for the great support!

Yes, sorry. checkAndUpdateVR() was what I meant. I have tried saving and loading, and it works fine. To do so, I had to change the call for setting the (8-bit) pixel data to putAndInsertUint8Array() of course. Then I tried: DcmFileFormat file(&dataset); ofResult = file.saveFile("e:\\temp\\ELE.dcm", ...

Thank you for your counter-questions, Jörg. Here are the answers: Short question: why do you call putAndInsertUint16Array() if the pixel data is 8 bits/pixel? Because PS3.5, A.1c says (for TS Implicit Little Endian): Pixel Data (7FE0,0010) has the Value Representation OW and shall be encoded in Litt...

Dear experts, I am currently investigating how the requirements of PS3.5, Appendix A are implemented and whether we have to consider them in our code using DCMTK or if DCMTK has built-in methods doing the job. If I got it correctly, the baseline for Little Endian Implicit/Explicit is: - if the TS is...

It seems that the Move SCP you are talking to just closes the association while it should better return a C-MOVE-Response which is helpful for debugging. But a few guesses of what typically goes wrong in C-MOVE: - the Move Destintation (testAET) must be configured on the Move SCP side. It should res...

Including the header is not the same as linking to the libraries. You need to have the libraries built as ".lib" and potentially ".dll" or ".so" files, and you have to instruct your linker to add them to your project.

The IJG libraries are shipped with DCMTK, so you just compile jpg8, jpg12 and jpg16 and then link to them like you link to other DCMTK libraries as well.
