All Information in DICOM File?

[berte]

Hello,

I want to see all information in dicom file(e.g. patient name,age,sex,hospital name, device name, creation file, etc.)

I use this code:

Code: Select all

void getPatientInformation(const char* fileName)
{
	DcmFileFormat fileformat;
	OFCondition status = fileformat.loadFile(fileName);

	if (status.good())
	{
		OFString patientsName, patientsAge, patientsBDate, patientsSex, patientsAddress, deviceDescription;

		fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientsName, patientsName);
		fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientsAge, patientsAge);
		fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientsBirthDate, patientsBDate);
		fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientsSex, patientsSex);
		fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientsAddress, patientsAddress);
		fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_DeviceDescription, deviceDescription);

		
		cout << "Hastanin Adi: " << patientsName << endl;	
		cout << "Hastanin Yasi: " << ((patientsAge == "") ? "bos" : patientsAge.substr(1, 2))  << endl;
		cout << "Hastanin Cinsiyeti: " << ((patientsSex == "M") ? "Erkek" : "Kadin") << endl;
		cout << "Hastanin Adresi: " << ((patientsAddress == "") ? "bos" : patientsAddress) << endl;
		cout << "Hastanin Dogum Tarihi: " << ((patientsBDate == "" ) ? "bos" : patientsBDate) << endl;
		cout << "Cihaz  bilgileri: " << ((deviceDescription == "") ? "bos" : deviceDescription) << endl;	




	} 
	else
		cerr << "Error: cannot read DICOM file (" << status.text() << ")" << endl;
	
}

But I think theese code useless. DCMTK has classes about this scenario ?
Otherwise I think writing class about this scenario.

Warm regards

Hi,

If you want to print (see?) all informations in a DICOM file, use the print() method provided by DcmDataset. Output can be controlled using various parameters.
Or just use the tool dcmdump which is part of DCMTK You can find it's source in the dcmdata/apps/ directory.

Michael
