Purpose¶

Creates and composes a DICOM file of modality secondary capture (SC). At the required input #0 the image must be connected whose content shall written as secondary capture image data. At optional input #1 an image can be connected from which DICOM tag information shall be copied/inherited.

This class derives much generic DICOM save functionality from DicomSaveBase. It provides options such as inheriting/copying DICOM information from input sources such as ML images, DICOM files, or a DirectDicomImport module.

Apart from a few optional tags only mandatory tags are written by this module.

Input Fields¶

input0¶

name: input0, type: Image¶: At this connector the image content to be saved in the file has to be provided.

input1¶

name: input1, type: Image¶: This is an optionally usable connector from which DICOM information can be inherited.

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.

Visible Fields¶

File Name (unresolvedFileName)¶

name: unresolvedFileName, type: String, deprecated name: unresolvedDcmInputFileName¶: If a loading operation from disk is selected as input in the Input Selector then the file name from which the DICOM tree shall be loaded is specified here. Otherwise this field is insensitive.

True File Name¶

name: absoluteFileName, type: String, persistent: no, deprecated name: dcmInputFileName¶: The path and name of the structured report file to be written.

Input Selector¶

name: inputSelector, type: Enum, default: ImageConnector #0, deprecated name: inheritanceInput¶: Selects the input from which DICOM information shall be inherited when Inherit DICOM Information (CTRL\+R) is triggered. Be careful, because handwritten DICOM tags values are overwritten!

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Image Connector #0	ImageConnector #0	If `Input Selector` is set to this mode, then the DICOM tree used for inheriting DICOM tags is taken from the first image connector.
Image Connector #1	ImageConnector #1	If `Input Selector` is set to this mode, then the DICOM tree used for inheriting DICOM tags is taken from the second image connector.
File	File	If `Input Selector` is set to this mode, then the DICOM tree used for inheriting DICOM tags is loaded from the file specified in `File Name`.
Base Connector	BaseConnector	If `Input Selector` is set to this mode, then the DICOM tree used for inheriting DICOM tags is retrieved from the Base connector where DICOM tree or MultiFileVolumeList base objects are allowed.

InIdx¶

name: inputVolumeIndex, type: Integer, default: 0, minimum: 0, deprecated name: ddiOutVolIdx¶: This field selects the volume from the connected DirectDicomImport which shall be used as source for DICOM tags.

#Volumes¶

name: numVolumes, type: Integer, persistent: no, deprecated name: numDDIVolumes¶: This read-only field shows number of available volumes in the DirectDicomImport.

Tag Dump Size¶

name: tagDumpSize, type: Integer, default: 10000¶: Maximum number of characters shown in the Tag Dump field. Note that too large values can degrade performance when viewing the DICOM tag list.

Dump Private Tag Values¶

name: dumpPrivateTagValues, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶: If enabled then values of private tags are decoded if decoders are available.

Num shown binary bytes¶

name: numShownBinaryEntries, type: Integer, default: 8¶: Number of shown bytes of binary tags.

Annotate¶

name: annotate, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶: If enabled then tags are annotated with further descriptive information such as possible types ( 1=Mandatory, 1C=Conditionally Mandatory, 2=Mandatory, may have zero or one item, 2C=Conditionally Mandatory, but may be empty, 3=Optional) and possible meanings of the tag. Note that no context analysis is performed for that information and therefore all possible and perhaps redundant meanings are shown.

Filter¶

name: regExLineFilter, type: String¶

If not empty then the regular expression is used to filter all lines of Tag Dump; see that field for more details. Examples:

======================= ==================================
Expression              Description

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.
