How to read DICOM images by their serie UID

[va2]

Hi all,

I have many DICOM images in one directory and I do not want to read them all but only read images of the same seirie UID.

Does anyone know related functions of DCMTK? Simple code example is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

unless you have a DICOMDIR file (index file) for all your images, you have to open them all and look for their Series Instance UID. The dcmdata example in the documentation shows how to do it, just replace DCM_PatientsName with DCM_SeriesInstanceUID.

Best regards,
Michael
