IDLffDicom and multiple items [message #39717] Thu, 10 June 2004 05:45 Go to previous message

Hi all,

I have a problem with Dicom files containing more
than one 'item'. In my special case, the dicom file
contains 3 items, all of which contain an instance
number (tag 0020x,0013x which is of multiplicity 1),
but only the second item contains all the patient,
examination and image data I'm interested in.

When accessing this tag via IDLffDicom's getvalue
method, IDL returns a 3-element array - one element
for each 'item', but only the second element
contains a meaningful instance number.

Unluckily, I cannot rely on the fact, that it will
always be the second.

Now for my question:
Is there any way in IDL to find out about the
'item' hierarchy which allows me to link, say, the
image data to a certain item and thus derive the
index to use for the instance tag?

Thanks
Oliver
