DICOM @ OFFIS

If you do find the fix, or make one yourself, please let the rest of us know. There are actually people out there who have to run the stable release

I had the same issue. What I did was to add a poll in the inner loop of storescp to see if a shutdown request had been issued on the session data bus (dbus, a Linux service), and just break out of the loop in this case. This will make it shutdown while idle, but it does not do anything clever to avo...

All DICOM conformant CD media will have a DICOMDIR, but far from all CD media with DICOM data will be conformant, and nobody will understand that you won't be able to read them when "everyone else can".

Try setting the interpolate parameter to 1 instead. This uses the pbmplus algorithm, which has fewer issues.

Have you built and installed dcmtk separately first, so that the included cfunix.h has been correctly generated?

Actually, looking more closely at it, the problem is that the (0002,0000) MetaElementGroupLength tag is wrong. The size it specifies for the DICOM meta group is way off, and DCMTK therefore reads more tags into the header than it should. I think this should have been handled by DCMTK - ie it should ...

I have just received a truly strange DICOM dataset, where some of the crucial tags that we need are found embedded within the DICOM metainfo header instead of in the DICOM data set proper. How would you go about working around this kind of weirdness with DCMTK using DcmFileFormat, DcmItem and friend...

So what is a proper fix?

I have created RPMs for Fedora 8 and 9 that are available for download at http://download.gna.org/pdcmtk/

Do you have a backtrace of the crash? You should also check if di->getInterData() returns NULL.

Could you please upload a sample data set somewhere, or send it to me directly?

I have long been running a customized repository of DCMTK where I have collected bug fixes of my own, patches from Offis, and bits and pieces suggested on this forum. Since version 3.5.4 is rather old and contains some annoying bugs, I thought maybe others would find it interesting. It has been exte...

I am trying to receive a series with storescp, then run dcmmkdir over it to generate a DICOMDIR. This seems impossible to do out of the box, since storescp insists on creating filenames that are too long for dcmmkdir. This is with version 3.5.4. Is there a solution for this in the CVS snapshots, or ...

Looks good.

I am not sure what data size limitation or OpenGL issue you are talking about. We are using VTK to display both 2D and 3D views into DICOM series far larger than 20MB. The only limitation I have heard of is that VTK downsamples 3D texture volumes larger than 256x256 to this size, which is annoying w...
