How to modify the tag: (0002,0013,Implementation Version Name)

[zagwin]

Dear DCMTKers:

I have modified the values OFFIS_DTK_IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION_NAME and OFFIS_DTK_IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION_NAME2 in dcuid.h.

and rebuilt the whole DCMTK, and add all necessary files of DCMTK to my project.

When I generate a dicom file, the "Implementation Version Name" value still keep as "OFFIS.DCMTK.361".

Do you have any suggestions to how to modify this value? thanks a lot!

I have fixed it, thanks all:-)

Hi Matt,

just a hint: be sure to not exceed the 16 character limit within implementation version name.

You should also think about whether it is really a good idea to change the implementation version name because it usually identifies the DICOM toolkit that is used. Of course, the unique identification is given by the implementation class UID. See e.g. section D.3.3.2 of PS 3.7-2011.
