Creation of a DICOMDIR File Creation of a DICOMDIR File The DICOMDIR file format has been defined to organize the access to off-line DICOM part 10 files. For instance, DICOM-compliant data CDs contain a DICOMDIR at the root level which contains a description and access information for all the studies on the CD. In PMOD, the DICOMDIR similarly describes the DICOM files residing under a root directory, eg. This file can be maintained by PMOD's DICOM server which updates the information after receiving and storing new images (see also the ).

The PVIEW tool has a handy function to create a DICOMDIR file which registers all DICOM files contained in a directory tree (see also the section ). This function is called by the Create Dicomdir entry in the Menu and opens the following dialog. The Change Folder opens a file browser to select the root directory of the tree containing the DICOM files to be registered. When Gather statistics is activated, all files in the directory tree are analyzed, and the information in the STATISTICS section updated. However, to really create the DICOMDIR file, the Create button must be activated.

Power Predictor - Wind And Solar Energy Measurement Tool. PacsOne Server, a.k.a., PACS Server In One Box, is a DICOM 3.0 compliant PACS (Picture Archive and Communication System). Create Dicomdir From Dicom Files.

In order to identify a DICOM file-set, and to facilitate accessing the information stored in the DICOM files of the file-set, the DICOM standard has defined the Basic Directory IOD. A DICOM file-set contains one or more DICOM files. One of the files contained in the file-set is the DICOMDIR file. The DICOMDIR file contains Dicom Directory information, which makes it easier to access the information contained in the other DICOM files in the file set. The DICOM files in the file-set are assigned File IDs, so that they can be referenced by the DICOMDIR File, which itself, is identified by a File ID of DICOMDIR.

LEADTOOLS provides the class, which is derived from, to simplify the process of creating DICOM Directories for file-sets. As a demonstration of a typical usage of the LDicomDir class, let's suppose that we need to build the DICOM Directory of the file-set defined by the files contained in the folder 'C: DICOM Images ' and in any subfolders. This folder is then the destination folder of the DICOMDIR File.

At the beginning of the application, the destination folder should be specified. This can be done either at construction time or later by using the function. Only the DICOM files within the destination folder (e.g., 'C: DICOM Images Brain') or in a subfolder of this folder (e.g., 'C: DICOM Images Patient1 Series1 Knee') can be added to the Dicom Directory. The File ID, which is used by the Dicom Directory to reference an added file, will be the relative path of the file. For instance, the File IDs of the two previous files would be 'Brain' and 'Patient1 Series1 Knee', respectively. A DICOM file can be added to the Dicom Directory in one of two ways: • Directly, using the function. The DICOM files contained in the destination folder can also be added individually or all at once using this function.

Adding the files individually requires multiple calls to the LDicomDir::InsertDicomFile function, with the name of the file to add passed in the pszFileName parameter. All files in the destination folder can be added at once by calling the LDicomDir::InsertDicomFile function with the pszFileName parameter set to NULL. In this case, the callback function is called for each file that is added so that the progress of adding the files can be monitored. The DICOM files in the subfolders of the destination folder can also be added by setting the bIncludeSubfolders member of a structure to TRUE, setting the new option using the function and then calling this function with pszFileName set to NULL. • Indirectly, using the function. In this way, the Data Set contained by the DICOM file to be added is first loaded using the function. The data set is then added by calling LDicomDir::InsertDicomDS.

The function can be used to identify the file-set by providing a simple humanly readable identifier. Also, the function can be used to specify a descriptor file (a 'readme' file) for the file-set. The functions and let you get or set certain options that affect the behavior of the other functions of the class. Once the DICOM Directory is ready, the function can be called to create the DICOMDIR File and store the directory information. The DICOMDIR File is named 'DICOMDIR' and is saved in the destination folder ('C: DICOM Images DICOMDIR'). The function, which overrides the function, can be used to load the Dicom Directory Data Set stored in an existing DICOMDIR file. The loaded Dicom Directory can then be manipulated using the various functions.

For instance, additional DICOM files can be added to the Dicom Directory. The sample below demonstrates how easy it is to create a DICOMDIR file using the LEADTOOLS LDicomDir class. This example shows how to create a DICOM Directory for all the files in the folder 'C: Medical'.
