DICOM-Transfer-Modify

Dicom Tool using dcmdjpeg dcmmodify gdmconv storescu

% To do only once%

To use the scripts of the "code.bat" batch, you must have dl and installed the DCMTK suite from the offis group (https://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en) and the GDCM suite (http://gdcm.sourceforge.net/html/gdcmconv.html). It is necessary to add .exe files contained in PATH directory in PATH system variable according to https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.html.

% To do when necessary%

  • Only do this methodology if the usual dicom transfer software (e.g. CD2RTP for adac pinnacle) does not work

  • Place the images in the IMAGES directory

  • Check if they all have the same weight

-if YES: they are probably in "Little Endian" format compatible with ADAC-Pinnacle,

-if NO: they are compressed (JPEG format) and not compatible with ADAC-Pinnacle.

  • To ensure the compression, open for exemple ezDicom (present in the suite folder or in https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezdicom/) then pull in the window that opens an image which is contained in the IMAGES directory

  • Show DICOM tags and watch (00002,0010) if the end is 1.2.1 then there is no compression, otherwise they are certainly compressed

  • Open the batch code.bat by doing a RIGHT_CLICK / Modify, the code allows you to perform 4 actions:

    -add a .dcm extension to the images contained in IMAGES,

    -decompress these images (normal JPEG or JP2000),

    -modify their DICOM characteristics,

    -export these images in Pinnacle.

  • To deselect the actions to be executed, add "rem" at the beginning of the line in the script

  • LEFT_CLICK on the code.bat file to execute the previous elements
