DICOM @ OFFIS

Dates and times use Range Matching, so for all dates after and including 2000-01-01 the syntax is "20000101-". The syntax for matching dates prior to and including 200-01-01 is "-20000101" and for matching between 2000-01-01 and 2000-01-31 is "20000101-20000131"

(0018, 6011) *is* the sequence. There is a simple way to determine if the sequence exists: DcmItem *ditem = NULL; OFCondition ret = dset->findAndGetSequenceItem(DCM_SequenceOfUltrasoundRegions,ditem); If ditem is not NULL, then the sequence exists. You can then search ditem with the findAndGet... me...

What do you mean by "subtag"? The only concept I can think of which is vaguely related to "subtags" is to do with Sequences, in which case you can use findAndGetSequenceItem or findAndGetSequence.

Everything you require can be found in part 4 of the DICOM Standard.

Hi Colby,

I'd be happy to colaborate with you on changes needed to make the DCMTK thread-safe for Win32. Marco, what are your thoughts on including such platform-specific changes into the general release of the toolkit?

Cheerio,

Ben

Are you trying to simply pass a "normal" composite instance (e.g. CR or DX image) to the print SCU? From the error message you provided, that certainly looks to be the case. The print SCU has very specific input requirments (Stored Print and Hardcopy objects). You need to read the document...

getDataset() returns a pointer to a DcmDataset. So you need to use the -> operator rather than the . operator:

My experience (which should certainly not be taken as gospel) is that DCMTK can be made thread safe when using it in an SCP role (see above), but that it is not, in general, thread-safe when using it in an SCU role. I say this because I had some SCU code running which handled multiple concurrent C-S...

Instead of using fork(), I have had good results on Windows with the following methodology: - The main thread loops waiting for associations - If it receives an association request and successfully negotiates, then the association is accepted. - A new thread is spawned to handle the accepted associa...

You could use dcmdump with the +W option. This will dump the pixel data into a .raw file. Then you could concatenate all the .raw files together to make your volume dataset.

The reason that all the tags contained in each file are not included in the DICOMDIR structure is because the DICOM standard explicitly specifies which tags should be present in the DICOMDIR. If you want to read the other tags, you need to use the DICOMDIR to get the Referenced File ID, open the fil...

This may seem obvious, but did you remove the .dcm extension from the file in question?

The DicomScope application is written in Java and makes calls to the DCMTK libraries using jni. If you download the DicomScope source and use it as an example it might help you.

Thanks for the help Joerg, I had something like this but there was a little hole in my logic somwhere else :-) On a different topic, I have been hacking dcmpstat.lib to use it for rendering print jobs, and for some reason my GSPS annotations (lines, boxes etc.) are not being rendered. My code looks ...

Hi Marco, Joerg, Thomas and the world, I'm sure Im going to kick myself, but... How do I find an item in a sequence when there is possibly more than one item of the same type in the sequence (e.g. the Referenced Series Instance UID(s) in a Presentation State's Referenced Series Sequence)? Currently ...
