DICOM @ OFFIS

If there is no requirement that the result would still be a valid DICOM dataset/file, you could remove the Pixel Data (7fe0,0010) element by calling something like this on the main DICOM dataset: dataset->findAndDeleteElement(DCM_PixelData); However, unless you access the Pixel Data element (7fe0,00...

Since DcmtkWrapper seems to be part of your program/app (not of the DCMTK): Did you start with a clean development environment, e.g. by calling "make clean" or the like?

Unfortunately, your question is not clear. Do you want to remove the Pixel Data element or to set its length to 0 (i.e. clear its value)? What would be the value of Rows and Columns then? What about other data elements that refer to the image frames (pixel data)? In both cases, this would make the D...

Can you expalin how is transfer syntax related? I thought I already explained this in my previous posting: for uncompressed pixel data (e.g. Explicit VR Little Endian Transfer Syntax), the maximum element length is limited to about 4.2 GB (due to the size of the element length field, which is 32-bi...

In addition to what Marco wrote: You could also sponsor development if this would be an option (see also this blog posting).

Does DicomImage::createMonochromeImage() convert all the frames from RGB to MONOCHROME2?

Yes, if all frames are actually selected for being loaded/processed (see DicomImage constructor).

Unfortunately, the log output of dcmdjpeg is not very useful in this case, but after looking at the dump output of the DICOM file, it seems that the mandatory Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) attribute is missing in the main dataset. Also using dcmj2pnm gives you more details (e.g. another dat...

As the documentation (man page) says: "The dcm2pdf utility reads a DICOM file of the Encapsulated PDF Storage SOP Class (dcmfile-in), extracts the embedded PDF document and writes it to an output file (pdffile-out)." That means, this tool does not support what you expect. If you want to re...

Calling "delete filePtr.getDataset();" is certainly not a good idea, as the ownership of the internally managed dataset pointer is still with the DcmFileFormat instance. Instead, you should either call "delete filePtr.getAndRemoveDataset();" or "filePtr.clear();". By th...

Given the thread, it would be nice to understand these questions? Hijacking such an old thread is usually seen as bad behavior, so I created a new thread. - How do save a frame of bmp or png of 8/16/24/32 bits size formats? I see here that he used getOutputData but how did he save it after that. Th...

No, the "\" is treated differently, as it is the DICOM delimiter used for storing multiple values in a data element. The DICOMDIR allows for having up to 7 nested sub-directories plus the filename, e.g. "DICOM\PATIENT_A\STUDY_1\SERIES_1\IMG00001".

1- Why are both number of characters in the folder name and the filename counted?! 2- What are the invalid characters? Re. 1: This is defined by the DICOM standard in order to be compliant with all supported file systems and operating systems. Re. 2: Valid characters are upper case letters (A-Z), d...

DICOMDIR is created now but it seems to be empty. Is the behaviour of dcmmkdir OK according to the log?

No, from reading the log output, I would expect to have a non-empty DICOMDIR with information on a single PATIENT, STUDY, SERIES and IMAGE.

Yes, in principle, it could be the limited stack size of the storescu.exe file, because all command line arguments are stored in a list on the stack. Personally, I've never used any of the DCMTK command line tools on Windows with so many files, but on my Linux machine there is no problem with even m...

Did you already try with the --invent option?

The Attributes that dcmmkdir lists as missing are of Type 1 in a DICOMDIR.
