dcmmkdir corrupted dicomdir

[Ahmed_Zikry]

Hello all,

I have a folder which is called PAT_0000 this folder contain 2 images "IM_0001" & "IM_0002".

when i try command line--> dcmmkdir.exe PAT_0000\IM_0001 OR dcmmkdir.exe PAT_0000\IM_0002
it generates a dicomdir file that is fine and i'm able to open it using dicom viewer MicroDicom.

when i try command line--> dcmmkdir.exe +id PAT_0000 +r , to get one dicomdir for all the files in PAT_0000, it works fine but the generated dicomdir dosn't open on the viewer, i tried another viewer it also dosn't open and keeps giving me message that the dicomdir dosnt conform with dicom stander.

Sorry for bothering you.

Thanks in advance.

Omit the option "+id" in the second example, but keep the directory "PAT_0000" on the command line. This will cause dcmmkdir to include the directory name in the DICOMDIR file.

The DICOMDIR file was not corrupted or not standard-compliant but the referenced DICOM image file could not be found by the File-set Reader (because of the wrong directory structure). Read the man page of this tool for details.
