Re: Problem with DICOM format

[Erickson, Bradley J., M.D.]

Andreas,
        This looks like a very nice plugin. I am having a bit of difficulty getting it to talk to my other DICOM nodes. One problem along the way is that for some reason, I cannot type any zeros (0) into the port number edit box. We use port 2001, and typing it in, I just get '21'. I got around this by copy 2001 into the buffer and then pasting it into the edit box. I am runing under WinXP. However, even after addressing that, it does not seem to communicate, though the log file says it is listening...
Thanks
Brad

Terve Sami,

we have written - using the dcm4che DICOM Tools - a ImageJ Plugin that can read DICOMDIR Information. The plugin is in the moment  in BETA test, therefore this was not send to the List. You can try it and I have made a version (ImageJ and the plugin) available at our project page:

http://projects.santec.lu/optimage/optimageDownload/ImageJ-and-DICOMImporterPlugin-BETA.zip

You can help us testing and give your comments about the plugin. We plan to release it soon to the public with an announcement to the ImageJ list.
Please launch for the moment the runImageJ.jar file with a double click or at command line. It sets the necessary CLASSPATH for you (this is a part we are working in the moment).

If the plugin is launched, there is a button bar:

First Button:           Import Files (Files System, DICOMDIR and local
PACS)
Second Button:  Configuration (here you can set which of the open dialogue should be enabled as well as the local PACS server that comes with the
plugin)
Third button:           a help screen(not finished yet)

I hope this helps you,

Andreas
