Data Dictionary
From GDCM Wiki
GDCM has it's own copy of the DICOM Data Dictionary. It is build using pdftotext and a python script to construct regex out of the text file produce by pdftotext.
There are currently still some minor typos in the DICOM Data Dictionary 2006:
Contents |
note 1
Two tags are missing: ACR NEMA, Tag: 0020 1003/1005
- 0020 1003 IS 1 Images in Series (RET)
- 0020 1005 IS 1 Images in Study (RET)
Ref:
Fixed in DICOM 2007
note 2
And (4000,0010) should be "Text Arbitrary" instead of simply "Arbitrary"
No need for that
note 3
0018 0060 DS 1 KVP should be kVp
No need for that
note 4
not ordered by lexico order:
- 0018 9295 FD 1 Chemical Shifts Minimum Integration Limit in ppm
- 0018 9296 FD 1 Chemical Shifts Maximum Integration Limit in ppm
Fixed in DICOM 2007
note 5
- 2020 0010 US 1 Image Position
should be:
- 2020 0010 US 1 Image Box Position
No need for that
note 6
- 0012 0062 CS 1 Patient Identify Removed
should be
- 0012 0062 CS 1 Patient Identity Removed
Fixed in DICOM 2007
note 7
- 5000 2610 US 1 Referenced Overlay Group (RET)
should be
- 5000 2610 US 1 Curve Referenced Overlay Group (RET)
Fixed in DICOM 2007
feature request
For ease of parsing (regex):
- Convert all "OW or OB" into "OB or OW"
- (0020,3100 to 31FF) Source Image IDs could be written as (0020,31xx) Source Image IDs
the new/retired (0018,9445)
Add (0018,9445) and mark as retired, even though it is not in any supplement or CP, since it has been inadvertently used in a product
Ref:
More comments:
It is in the DICOM dictionary only to make sure that we do not inadvertently assign it in some future supplement or CP, since a vendor mistakenly used it in a product.
