[ITK-users] Lost Patient, Study and Series DICOM tags

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

We have just merged the topic which adds the “SetMetaData” method to the SimpleITK Image interface into the “next” development branch of SimpleITK [1]. We expect for this to shortly be merged into the master branch after nightly testing. We are also creating an example which uses it for writing a modified DICOM file.

There should be nightly binaries that follow shortly there after for CSharp [2]. This may meet your needs.

Directly using GDCM is a sensible way to go for more control over DICOM IO. I have not done what you propose, but I expect it is possible. You would likely need some lower level buffer access as is done here[3].

HTH,
Brad
