DICOM @ OFFIS

Jorg, I understand your intent, i.e., that the spaces are for alignment purposes only. However, whether there is a space there or not is significant to us because we have used a 'space' as a field separator when parsing the output file from dcmdump.exe. What we've noticed is that there is an inconsi...

When parsing the output of a file generated using dcmdump.exe, we are finding a difference of a single space between "value length" and "value mutiplicity". For example, a tag such as compensatorID (300a,00e5) from the file has a value length of 4 followed by a comma, then a spac...

Thanks for your reply, Thomas. I followed your example and was able to add dcmdata and ofstd as subprojects and dependencies to dcm2xml. However, now I get these errors: Compiling... dcm2xml.cpp Linking... LIBCMTD.lib(osfinfo.obj) : error LNK2005: __alloc_osfhnd already defined in LIBCD.lib(osfinfo....

Well, Duh! dcmdump.exe does just this, doesn't it?

I have successfully compiled the ALL_BUILD set of projects within DCMTK using MC++6, but now want just to build dcm2xml as a separate project. Even with all necessary header files added to a new project for this purpose, there a number of link errors that occur. I notice that, within the DCMTK downl...

We are trying to extract a small set of values from a dicom file. We have looked at the DCMTK executables, and have used dcm2xml.exe to examine all data within the file, but really we need only to grab a subset of tag values as text. We have considered parsing the xml file from the output of dcm2xml...

You're right, Marco. When I added the file name, I got much further in the compile process. My mistake completely. Adding Include files through MC++ under project->settings->C/C++ tab, preprocessor category, and library files through project->settings->link, input category, didn't seem to have any e...

Making some progress.

Now getting a LNK1181 error: cannot open input file "toolkit.obj"

I've searched my hard drive and I don't have this file. Can someone tell me what it is and where to find it?

dave

Right. Well I had already done that and got the "permission denied" errors for the same files (zlib-1.2.1). Problem is I've checked permissions on the files and they are all wide open. <snip> ../../dcmdata\include\dcistrmz.h(45) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'C:\DCMTK\dico...

I am trying to compile DCMTK using visual C++ with ALL_BUILD selected as the active project. I've followed the installation directions but get these errors: <snip> ../../dcmdata\include\dcistrmz.h(44) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory dcistrmb.cxx dci...

Thank you for your kind response.

Can someone give me more information about comp.protocols.dicom ?

How/where do I access this site?

Dave

Does anybody know the VR, VM, and Name of these Tags:

300a,0186

3267,1000

I'm pretty sure the second one is owned by Varian Medical Systems.

Thanks,

Dave

Thank you very much, Michael, for you detailed response. Reading the standard is always good advice as is interacting with the experts.

Thanks,

dave

Jörg,

A better question would have been "what do you mean by private creator element"?

(7003,"SIEMENS MED",10) LT Header 1

Is that what "SIEMENS MED" is?

dave

but without private creator element the private tag (300b,1001) is not properly reserved according to part 5 of the DICOM standard Would this be a concern for me? I am just converting the DICOM file with dcm2xml.exe to xml for web display. Wouldn't this be more important for the Application Entitie...
