DICOM @ OFFIS

Hi, Hello, and i am wondering if it is possible to store data with this specific structure: DirectoryStructure=Study_UID\Patient_Name\Series\Images The option -ss and -rns for this command are may be able to work but i don't know how to have the specific structure. I think with -rns it's not possibl...

Hi, from the DICOM Dictionary:

(0002,0013) Implementation Version Name SH 1

so this is the name of the implementation, that wrote this file. In this case, you used DCMTK 3.5.4.

Hi Tom, yes it's true, there is a bug in findscu and movescu regarding "add-override-key" when using the "=value", caused by a code update done for DCMTK 3.5.4. :cry: Perhaps there will be a patch release or something similar. At the meanwhile you can use your own fix. Then dicti...

Hi Francesco, i just recognized (late..., I've never really used movescu before, sorry), that you're using the wrong program (movescu) for your purposes. As I see, you just want to transmit some images over the network. movescu is implementing C-MOVE, which (as said an 4.2 of part 4 of the standard)...

Hi, take a look at the doxygen documentation. You can access it online here . All functionality you requested can be found in the dcmdata module. Take a look at DcmItem first. There are functions to insert, delete and modify element tags (and therefore sequences, too). Examples how to use this class...

Okay, these shouldn't be the problem. If you are using the "-v" option on both sides of the connection (storescp and movescu) you should be able to see, what presentation contexts are proposed and which are accepted. From this list you should be able to draw conclusions about the problem. ...

Hi,

what SOP class and transfer syntax are your files using on disk? Use dcmdump to find out;)

Hi Dave, yes, all tools that internally use dcmdata functionality in DCMTK (and that should be all) are doing these automatic corrections, if they find wrong tag lengths or similar. Group length etc. are also recalculated by default. Not all command line tools allow to toggle this automatic correcti...

Hi,

please post more informations about your problem, at least post your storescp call including all options you use. Try to use "-v" option to see what's happening.

Michael

Hi,

please download the support libs for windows from the DCMTK website.
That should solve your problem You can find further instructions in the INSTALL file distributed with the DCMTK source release.

Hi f_lopic, Activating storescp and movescu, he comes given to me like message "Not acceptable Presentation Contexts", which can be the problem? This means, that both applications were not able to find a common presentation context (abstract syntax + transfer syntax) for the transmission o...

Hi Dave, dcmodify isn't able to accept values from an input file, because it's originally not designed for changing pixel data or other binary data tags. It should be possible to extend dcmodify to support file input. If you have a unix/linux machine, you might find a shell able to use longer input ...

Hi, you're right, dcmodify doesn't allow deletion of tags with group numbers 0000 and 0002. For your purposes you could try to use a combination of dcmdump and dump2dcm to remove the command set tag. You also could remove line 485 to 488 of mdfdman.cc to allow dcmodify to delete such tags. However, ...

A minor addition: With DCMTK 3.5.4, there are some new UID options for dcmodify, that allow to generate new Study, Series and SOP Instance UIDs automatically. So this part of the problem could be solved using dcmodify. Concerning your problems with large pixel data values: Did you noticed the +W opt...

I just noticed, that there is also an entry in the FAQ:
