DICOM @ OFFIS

Hi Simon, I think it does not make sense to write down the full Query/Retrieve procedure - you really should read the corresponding pages in the DICOM Standard. Look for the Query / Retrieve section in part 4. Then read some forum topics about findscu and then try again :) However, this might work t...

Hi Oliver, what kind of target project file did you choose in CMake? We only test output for Visual C++, I don't know what kind of project files Dev C++ can open. For unix-like systems, DCMTK ships already with predefined Makefiles (./configure and make). So for mingw one could maybe use these mecha...

Hi,

dcmodify is not made to decode the image on the fly. So these transfer syntax options only work if the image already is in one of the uncompressed transfer syntaxes.

You should run dcmdjpeg (module dcmjpeg) first to decompress the file into the desired uncompressed TS.

Maybe a short explanation of the whole procedure helps: The file you specify for findscu is the query file, ie it contains the search mask that should be used to query the server. With -k option you can specify additional search keys which are added to the searchmask from the query file. So the quer...

Hi, I am sure you mistyped the tag? Use 0010,0010 instead of 0001,0001 - otherwise you get an error: error: cannot put tag value: (0001,0001)="HEAD_EXP2" Your error above explains itself: The file you specified (0001_002000_892666651.dcm) is not in the current directory. I have tested your...

Hi, that means that the attributes (ie their tag numbers) are not sorted ascendly in the DICOM file which is mandatory. You could use dcmdump's --ignore-errors option to ignore such errors and force dcmdump to read as far as possible. Additionally you could try to use dcmconv to correct these errors...

Hi Mark,

this definitely looks like you missed a library...are you sure you really link e.g. dcmdata to your project? See also FAQ #27.

Hi, the Modality attribute (DCM_Modality) which you are writing is actually not a sequence attribute...that is the major problem ;-) Besides that, I would also recommend to use the DcmItem API to insert a sequence (including some items). Use a call to findOrCreateSequenceItem (const DcmTag &seqT...

Hi,

I also think this is link problem in Xcode due to wrong configuration. Be sure to link at least the DCMTK libraries ofstd and dcmdata to your project.

If DCMTK builds correctly on the console it is very unlikely that the problem lies within the toolkit.

Hello Jeff, I have a tool based on DCMTK that converts JPEG to DICOM (Visible Light Photography and Old Secondary Capture Objects supported), which may be part of the next release. However, I have not finished it yet and it should get some testing, too. The tool actually does not decompress the JPEG...

Hello Niels,

I've send you an email how to download a recent CVS snapshot.

Hi, if you are a bit familiar with programming and imaging, you could do the decompressing yourself (using DCMTK and a JPEG2000 library). However if you are not too experienced, this may take some time... Maybe there is another DICOM toolkit that can do JPEG2000 decompression for you - you could use...

Correct, I am very sorry, at this time the SOP Class *COMMON* Extended Negotiation is *NOT* supported by DCMTK... :( It is possible to integrate that, but there is not enough time for our DCMTK hobby at the moment to do all the things on our TODO/Wishlist list ;) If you like to contribute or order t...

Hi Alvin, the public DCMTK does not support the JPEG2000 SOP class in terms that it is of course able to transfer or modify DICOM objects of this SOP class but is not able to (de)compress or convert the JPEG2000 coded image data. This functionality is part of the commercial DCMJP2K module - you can ...
