[Insight-users] DICOMDIR + ITK

[jmerkow]

This is a bit confusing....

So the DICOMDIR gives you a list of file names of each DICOM file?

This is what I have  I have a DICOMDIR file, a PATIENTS file and PFINDEX
file(no extensions on any of them)

Then there is a single dir called PAT00000. Inside PAT00000 There are a
number of studies in STU0000n directories.  Each with a number of image
series dirs, SER0000n.  Inside each of those directories are files called
OBJ0000n which is the actually images(I presume).

I included some screen shots of the file structure in case my explanation is
confusing (at the very bottom)

None of the files have file extensions, or I would simply get a DICOMDIR
viewer and then try to load each series with the metadata card-coded (brute
force).  I would like to be able to take in data of this nature and use the
DICOMDIR file and access all the metadata.

What it sounds like you are saying that the DICOMDIR is a file that just
points to DICOM files.  It seems that I don't have any, and this data is
contained in DICOMDIR, PATIENTS, or PFINDEX. In this case will the DICOMDIR
(gdcm::DICOMDIR) work?

If not can you recommend an alternative solution?
