[Insight-users] Dicom header with managed ITK

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Rehab,

The support for DICOM IO in ManagedITK is not as good as it could
be...if you want to help improve it, let me know!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "read the dicom header". Do you
mean read the tag values? If so, you may be interested to learn the
latest release of ManagedITK (3.6.0.2) contains wrappers for the major
IO objects, including GDCMImageIO. This object contains the
GetValueFromTag(String tag, String% value) method which may be what
you are searching for. I have included an example below using
(hard-coded) data from {ITK_DIR}\Testing\Data\Input\DicomSeries\

using System;
using itk;

namespace ManagedItkDicomTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            itkImage_SS3 input = itkImage_SS3.New();
            itkImageFileReader reader = itkImageFileReader.New(input);
            reader.FileName = "Image0075.dcm";
            reader.Update();
            itkGDCMImageIO imageIO = itkGDCMImageIO.New();
            reader.GetImageIO(imageIO);
            const String tag = "0008|0018"; // Series UID
            String value = String.Empty;
            bool doesTagExist = imageIO.GetValueFromTag(tag, out value);
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Regards, Dan
