Loading DICOM file without pixel data?

[artemmikheev]

I want to load DICOM file but without pixel data (DCM_PixelData).

I am using the following function usually:

DcmFileFormat* D = NULL;
...........
...........
D->loadFile( Name ).good());

Is there some way to load ALL but skip the Pixel Data?

Thank you

By default, the DcmFileFormat::loadFile() method only loads element values from file (to main memory) where the value length is below a certain threshold (4 kbytes, see "maxReadLength" parameter). Does this meet your requirements?
