Chinese character sets are not supported by the dcmsr module because this would probably require the use of multiple character sets in the same dataset. If UTF-8 (Unicode) would be an option, you should try this ...

I use this:doc->setSpecificCharacterSetType(DSRTypes::CS_ASCII);
It can be displayed in chinese. So I want to known that is this suitable?
If not ,Can you tell me how to use UTF-8?

Regards,
Candy

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. CS_ASCII can only be used for 7-bit ASCII characters (i.e. no special characters like you need for Chinese).
If not ,Can you tell me how to use UTF-8?
If you don't know what UTF-8 is, read this. In order to learn how different character sets are used in DICOM, read the relavant sections of part 5 of the DICOM standard.

Maybe it works on your system since your browser uses Chinese characters by default. Nevertheless, you are not allowed to use anything than ASCII characters in a DICOM file if the Specific Character Set is not defined accordingly!
