DICOM @ OFFIS

See DICOM standard part 4 section C.2.2.2.4 for wildcard matching. Note that there are also other matching techniques.

Use this option: +l --line [m]ax-length: integer maximum line length m (default 4096) That should do it. Please note that with each command line application, e.g. dump2dcm.exe, there is also a textfile explaining all command line options/parameters, e.g. dump2dcm.man or dump2dcm.txt. Moreover, runni...

You are using some DICOM terms in the wrong way. From your post it is clear that you dont really know what a sequence attribute is. Here's a short explanation: A special case among the DICOM data types is the sequence („Sequence of Items“, SQ), which can be used to create hierarchical data structure...

DCMTK comes with documentation that can be generated from the source files. See the INSTALL file for how to do this. This documentation can also be viewed online at http://support.dcmtk.org/docs/index.html . Moreover, each application in any of the apps folders, e.g. dcmdump from dcmdata/apps, has a...

I did not really understand your question about "querying patients whose name starts with a P", I am sorry. But with regard to this topic, have you heard about "wildcard matching"? You can actually tell the PACS to return only patients whose name starts with a P by specifying &qu...

See also FAQ 27 at the very bottom.

You apparently forgot to link against netapi32.lib and wsock32.lib.

I am sorry but that is exactly the way the "traditional" query/retrieve is defined in the DICOM standard: on the patient level you can query for all attributes which DICOM specifies to be on the patient level (and no other attributes), on the study level you can query for all attributes wh...

We do not have an implementation of an MPPS SCU (Client) application, but an implementation of an MPPS SCP (Server) application. Please note the difference.

comp.protocols.dicom is not a website, it is a newsgroup. You will need a newsreader in order to be able to retrieve/send messages from/to this newsgroup, or you can also use google: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&l ... cols.dicom

Look in the DICOM standard part 4, table C.6-5. The table shows all attributes which can be used for a query on the study level in the study root information model. One of the is the unique key (U) for this level, some of them are required keys (R) and some of them are optional (O). Unique and requi...

First of all: please do NOT post non-DCMTK related questions in this forum. For question about DICOM in general use the comp.protocols.dicom newsgroup. Secondly: looking at the DICOM standard part 6 will tell you that attribute 300a,0186 does not exist (at least not in the 2004 version). Thirdly: pr...

I suppose you are using the patient root information model (option -P in findscu)? If that is the case, here is my answer: The patient root information model has 4 hierarchy levels: Patient (highest level) - Study - Series - Image (lowest level). In order to be able to query on a certain lower level...

I did not want to suggest that you actually _use_ this function, you can use this function as an _example_ on how to expand a sequence. If you need to know what attributes can occur in the ScheduledProcedureStepSequence, you have to look into the DICOM standard, part 4, table K.6-1. With this inform...

An example for such a "sequence expansion" algorithm is already included in DCMTK, fortunately for you also already for the worklist management service. This algorithm is not based on the data dictionary though (because this is impossible), you will have to specify yourself, which attribut...
