ANDUMP(1) DICOM PS3 - Describe ACR-NEMA file content ANDUMP(1)

andump - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... Describe ACR-NEMA file content

andump

See the file ../dicom3tools/gen.so.

[ -ancreate ] [ -extractCSA ] [ -showoffset|-showoffset-hex |-showoffset-octal|-showoffset-oct |-showoffset-decimal|-showoffset-dec ] [ -filename ]

See the file ../dicom3tools/optin.so.

andump reads the named acr-nema input file and describes the information contained, without attempting to interpret the structure of the message (cf. dcdump).

The group and element number, dictionary and explicit value representation, description of tag, value length and value of the element are displayed, optionally with an offset byte count from the start of the file.

The attribute values, description and verbose output go to standard error.

Binary attributes are written in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x". Numeric string attributes are written in decimal. Attribute values are displayed in hexadecimal or string format as determined by the value representation.

The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

Display item, end item and end sequence delimiter tags in a form suitable to feed into ancreate.
Extract the DICOM-like attributes buried within the Siemens private CSA header OB value.
Display byte offset from file start in hexadecimal.
Display byte offset from file start in octal.
Display byte offset from file start in decimal.
Show the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen will be reported if no filename was supplied.
