[Insight-users] DICOM GetPatientName error

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Iceberg,

Please do the following:

1) Try the Example:

     Insight/Examples/IO/
       DicomPrintPatientInformation.cxx

    with your dataset.


2) Make sure that you are allocating
    memory for the variable in which
    you are returning the patient name.

    The error message that you get suggests
    that you are passing a pointer without
    memory allocated as the space where the
    patient name will be stored.


Please take a look at the code of the
example in numeral (1), that should guide
you in the process of using the same
functionality in your application.

Please let us know if you have further
questions.


    Thanks


      Luis
