DicomFIDSave¶

Purpose¶

The DicomFIDSave creates and composes a DICOM file of modality FID and provides/composes the necessary tags to fulfill the DICOM standard requirements. It derives much generic DICOM save functionality from DicomSaveBase.

It also can inherit DICOM (tag) information from input sources such as ML images, DICOM files, or a DirectDicomImport module.

For further information (especially about the meaning of the tags written in the created output file) see DICOM standard http://medical.nema.org/Dicom/2011/11_03pu.pdf section C.21, Spatial Fiducials.

Input Fields¶

input0¶

name: input0, type: Image¶: A connector to inherit DICOM information and tag values which shall be stored in the created FID modality file.

xMarkerListInput¶

name: xMarkerListInput, type: MLBase¶: The is the input for an XMarkerList whose Marker information shall be converted to fiducials.

inputBase¶

name: inputBase, type: MLBase¶: This is a Base connector which can be used to provide the DICOM tree from which tags can be inherited; it is only used if Input Selector is set accordingly. It supports DICOM tree and MultiFileVolumeList Base objects as inputs.

inputModifierList¶

name: inputModifierList, type: MLBase¶: This is an optional input where modification plugins can be connected. They are applied as last operation on the final DICOM information directly before it is written to file. This can be used, for example to handle private tags, or to apply final cleanups before the DICOM file is created. See for example DicomModifyTagsPlugin, DicomModifySubTreeSelectorPlugin, or DicomModifyImageTagsPlugin, which are useful for final modifications on the DICOM information.

Defaults to ‘Fraunhofer MEVIS’ if not set otherwise in hidden defaultManufacturer field.

inheritManufacturer¶

name: inheritManufacturer, type: Enum, default: CreateNew¶

Which value to set on inheriting:

DoNotInherit: Do not inherit Manufacturer from input and leave value unchanged.

InheritFromTopLevel: Inherit Manufacturer from top level of input DCMTree; value is set empty if not found.

InheritRecursively: Inherit Manufacturer from recursive search in input DCMTree; value is set empty if not found.

CreateNew: Create a new Manufacturer instead of inheriting one.

CreateNewIfNeeded: Same as CreateNew, but only if Manufacturer is empty.

autoCreateManufacturer¶

name: autoCreateManufacturer, type: Enum, default: CreateIfNeeded¶

DoNotAutoCreate: Do not create a new Manufacturer whatever happens.

AutoCreateAlways: Always create a new Manufacturer even if another valid one is set.

CreateIfNeeded: Create a new Manufacturer if Manufacturer field is empty.

createManufacturer¶

name: createManufacturer, type: Trigger¶: Creates a new unique Manufacturer if notified.

defaultManufacturer¶

name: defaultManufacturer, type: String, default: Fraunhofer MEVIS¶: This hidden field contains the default value for manufacturer if a new value is created with createManufacturer, during inheritance or saving. It can be changed by the application if the module is run by another manufacturer.

manufacturerModelName¶

name: manufacturerModelName, type: String¶: DICOM tag: Manufacturer Model Name (0008,1090) determined by the manufacturer. In enhanced contexts it must have a value but sometimes it may be empty.

inheritAndCopyTagsOtherGeneralEquipmentTags¶

name: inheritAndCopyTagsOtherGeneralEquipmentTags, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If enabled then other input General Equipment tags are buffered during Inherit DICOM Information (CTRL+R) and added to the output during Save (Ctrl+S); otherwise only the mandatory tags and/or fields are added to the output.

Auto Create New¶

name: createNewFrameOfReferenceUID, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶: If enabled then for each stored file a valid new FrameOfReferenceUID (0020,0052) is created which references a non existing SOP instance. In this way fiducials can be saved as DICOM object without the need to provide a reference image or other SOP instance. However, a PACS will not show it together with any DICOM image. Recommended is to provide an existing UID from an existing DICOM object. A PACS then will be able to handle or display the fiducials together with that image.

Frame Of Reference UID¶

name: frameOfReferenceUID, type: String¶: DICOM tag: FrameOfReferenceUID (0020,0052). Identifies the DICOM frame on which the saved fiducials depend. It should reference the DICOM SOP instance on which this fiducials ‘lives’; usually derived from the ‘FrameOfReferenceUID’ tag of the connected input image. This field is insensitive if Auto Create New is enabled, which then automatically creates a new UIDs for non existing SOP instances. Must contain up to 64 characters from ‘0’-‘9’ or ‘.’.

Fiducial Identifier Base¶

name: fiducialIdentifierBase, type: String¶: For each added fiducial an identifier is set which is composed from this base string and the index position of the XMarker in the input XMarker list.

Add¶

name: addFiducialDescriptionTag, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If enabled then DICOM tag Fiducial Description (0070,030F) tags are added as described in field Fiducial Description Base, otherwise not.

Fiducial Description Base¶

name: fiducialDescriptionBase, type: String¶: For each added fiducial a description is set which is composed from this base string and the index position of the XMarker in the input XMarker list.

Sop Class UID¶

name: sopClassUID, type: String, default: 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.4¶: Read-only value: Uniquely defines the DICOM SOP class to be written by this module as described in DICOM Standard C.12.1.1.1 SOP Class UID, SOP Instance UID. Must contain up to 64 characters from ‘0’-‘9’ or ‘.’.

Sop Instance UID¶

name: sopInstanceUID, type: String¶: Read-only value: Uniquely defines the DICOM SOP Instance UID written by this module as described in DICOM Standard C.12.1.1.1 SOP Class UID, SOP Instance UID. Must contain up to 64 characters from ‘0’-‘9’ or ‘.’.

Specific Character Set¶

name: specificCharacterSet, type: String, default: ISO_IR 192¶

Specific Character Set (0008,0005) identifies the Character Set that expands or replaces the Basic Graphic Set (ISO 646) for values of Data Elements that have Value Representation of SH, LO, ST, PN, LT, UC or UT.

Recommended is ISO_IR 192 (which corresponds to the internal MeVisLab representation) or disable tag writing at all which also uses this term.

Enabling this term may cause that inconvertible characters are silently lost.

Currently supported values are

ISO_IR 6 // ASCII, not a real term but will drop to default, i.e. no tag will be written.

ISO_IR 100 // Latin alphabet No. 1

ISO_IR 101 // Latin alphabet No. 2

ISO_IR 109 // Latin alphabet No. 3

ISO_IR 110 // Latin alphabet No. 4

ISO_IR 144 // Cyrillic

ISO_IR 127 // Arabic

ISO_IR 126 // Greek

ISO_IR 138 // Hebrew

ISO_IR 148 // Latin alphabet No. 5

ISO_IR 13 // Japanese

ISO_IR 166 // Thai

ISO_IR 192 // Unicode in UTF-8 (multi-byte)

GB18030 // Chinese (multi-byte)

GBK // Chinese (multi-byte, subset of GB 18030

Write Specific Character Set¶

name: writeSpecificCharacterSet, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶

If enabled then Specific Character Set (0008,0005) is written into the output file, otherwise not.

Off is recomended for this field and for ‘Inherit Specific Character Set’ which then automatically uses ISO_IR 192 (=’UTF-8’ which is the internal MeVisLab representation).

Enabling this may cause that inconvertible characters are silently lost during save.

Inherit Specific Character Set¶

name: inheritSpecificCharacterSet, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶

If enabled then ‘Specific Character Set (0008,0005)’ and ‘Write specific character set’ are updated on inheritance according to the input data set.

Off is recomended for this field and for ‘Write specific character set’ which then automatically uses ISO_IR 192 (=’UTF-8’ which is the internal MeVisLab representation).

Enabling this may cause that non-ISO_IR 192 character sets are inherited and written and inconvertible characters from input are silently lost.

Set Default¶

name: setDefaultSpecificCharacterSet, type: Trigger¶: Sets the recommended ‘ISO_IR 192’ character set as default which matches the internal UTF-8 coding in MeVisLab and reduces risk of losing inconvertible characters.

useMMSUIDPrefix¶

name: useMMSUIDPrefix, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If false then the UID prefix for Fraunhofer MEVIS is used (not recommended), if true (the recommended default) then the MMS prefix is used.
