DICOM @ OFFIS

Copying element values from one DICOM file to another is only supported for a few specific DCMTK tools like "pdf2dcm" or "img2dcm" but not for the general ones (like "dcmodify"). Of course, it would be possible to add such an option to dcmodify, so I'll add a note to ou...

First of all, there is no concept like "section" or "segment" in DICOM datasets. Are you talking about groups (the relict from ACR/NEMA)? Most of your related questions do not really make sense to me since the "groups", e.g. (0028,xxxx), have no special meaning in DICOM.

Looks like your assumption is correct that the characters in the TextValue element are the reason for the error message. With the current snapshot (DCMTK 3.6.1) you can disable the VR/VM checking of dsrdump with the following option: -Ev --invalid-item-value accept invalid content item value (e.g. v...

What is the output of dsrdump in --debug mode?

I'm no expert on strange Windows issues but as far as I know the Windows binaries from our ftp server also run on Windows 7 64-bit (also on Windows NT4 32-bit by the way - this is what we've also tested during the release phase). If you want to compile the tools on your own, detailed instructions ca...

So, I suggest to change FAQ #13 by explaining this replacement for OSX.

Thanks, done.

First of all: Which binary executable(s) are you using in which version and on which platform? I guess your platform is Windows, right?

As far as I can see, this code was not defined in the 1993 edition of the DICOM standard. Apparently, the first appearance was in the 1996 edition. So I guess that this is a good explanation why the code is missing in the DCMTK (which is a successor of the 1993 European CTN implementation). We will ...

I would sugegst that you use CMake and set BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to "ON".

Your query looks ok to me (although PatientID is not required here). The response indicates that there are no matches in the SCP's database.

You could for example add the private SOP class UID "1.2.124.113532.3500.7" to an appropriate association negotiation profile (see "storescu.cfg").

I thought that SetRoiWindow was made to define a rectangular area on the image, then I could use getInterData and getData to get the Hounsfield units on that rectangular area. No, how did you come to this conclusion. The first line of the API documentation for this method says: "set automatica...

Thank you. I guess you are referring to the following patch, right?

Have you read the API documentation of setROIWindow() and getInterData()? Of course, the intermediate data does not contain the VOI window. Only the rendered output contains the VOI window. PS: I know it was wrong to allow users to access the internal intermedia pixel data. As written in the documen...

The pictures are a little dark, we should process the bitmap pixels to make them brighter. Did you specify an appropriate VOI window (for monochrome images)? I did not yet succeed in putting the pixels directly from DCMTK, because there's a problem with UInt8 that needs to be converted to java byte...
