Hi,
I'm trying to use unpacksdcmdir and noticed that it only works with Siemens DICOM files. I don't understand this restriction, because the two tags on which is scanned (run/series number, tag 0x20,0x11 and protocol name, tag 0x18,0x1030) are present also in e.g. Philips DICOM files (I even assume that both these tags are present in all DICOM files, as it is a standard). So my question is: is it possible to remove the restriction and make the tool more generally applicable?
Kind regards, Ed
Hi Ed,
unpacksdcmdir was programmed only with Siemens in mind. Try using dcmunpack. I've never tried it on Philips, so let me know how it works.
