Dear Manos,

In the macro language you can use:
getImageInfo()
getInfo(DICOM_TAG)
getMetadata("Info")

to extract information (tags) from the DICOM header.

See the Build-in Macro Function website how to use them.

Best wishes

Subject: Reading DICOM header without opening the image

dear all,

I am writting a macro in which I read a bunch of DICOM images. My intention is to keep information from selected DICOM tags and store them in a text file. In order to accelerate the process, I need a way for ImageJ to not open the images but somehow read the DICOM header data only. Is there a way?

Thank you beforehand for your help,

Manos
