Hello Everyone,
I am trying to display all frames from DICOM File.  How to use Frame
Increment Pointer.

Regards,
Prakash.M

I have looked at the images that are available to this group.  Either
I did not see a dose map from a treatment plan, or I missed it.  We
are working on a QA device for IMRT and a dose map in DICOM-RT format
would be very helpful.  Does anyone have one handy?

Thanks very much!

I am working on a simple software which can send simple treatment
machine details to an elekta machine. Can anybody send me a small
source code (simple) of how to write the dicom rt software.

Hi everybody,

I use Matlab Release 6.5 R13 with the Database Toolbox. Is there someone who
is familiar with GUI-programming in combination with the Database toolbox?
Problem: I am looking for a Graphical User Interface that can select
MRI/CT-images from a Database uing the Matlab Database toolbox.
Or does anybody of you have some code examples about this topic? I already
searched the Matlab official homepage for such examples but couldn't find a
a solution.

If you can help with a hint, link or file(s) please do send an eMail to
Mueller.Info@...

I would much appreciate it as I have a severe problems to find a solution.
With best regards and hope of your help,

John

P.s. If you need some more details about my problem, please do let me know.

Hi seniors,

I am having problem of locating the tag value in the DICOM file.
Yes, indeed that tag 0010,0010 is where the patient name is stored.
But what how to locate that '0010,0010' in that DICOM file?

Thank for your helps.

Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to the Yahoo! Terms of Service.

Here is a very simplified code to make you see how you
may get that attribute from the dicom file..

Becareful using this code (in fact, do not use it.  it
is not a good code.)  It will give you an
understanding how you may reach at the 0010, 0010..

Sure, I do not use this code.  I have developed my own
libraries (2 library).  One of them is a classical
library, which you get Tag values using something like
GetTagValue(...).. My latest library is superior to
any library I have ever seen.  It is XML based.  I
dont want to talk about it.

So What I mean is that take a look at to these codes I
sent but do not use them.  it took my few hours to
write them when I was learning what Dicom file is, few
years ago.

Regards,
Aydin

Hello,

I would like to get an answer on the structure of the RTPlan should
be for a ganrty arc with a motorized wedge.  The question is: in the
control point sequence what is the accepted form?
This:

Ctrl point, gantry angle, gantry direction, wedge position, CMSW
0,20,CW,IN,0
1,140,CCW,IN,0.5
2,0,CW,out,0.5
3,140,NONE,1

Ganrty starts at 20 degrees, delivers half the MU between 20-140
degress with the wedge IN.  Returns to 20 with wedge out and
delivers no dose. Starts at 20 and delivers the remaining MU with
the wedge out between 20-140 degrees.

or
0,20,CW,IN,0
1,140,NONE,IN,0.5
2,140,CCW,out,0.5
3,0,NONE,1

Ganrty starts at 20 degrees, delivers half the MU between 20-140
degress with the wedge IN.  Remove the wedge and delivers the
remaining MU with the wedge out between 140-20 degrees.




Or is there another way?

The question realy releates to who the gantry directions are used in
such a Dynamic beam.

thx for ur help. its really helpful.

Hi,

thanks for the c-coded files but as I am not familiar with C/C++ I woud like
to ask the question if there is somebody in this group who has a MatLab-code
how to reach the DICOM Tag described below and in the previous eMails?

You could really help me!!!

Betreff: RE: [dicomrt] Re: DICOM Tag


Here is a very simplified code to make you see how you
may get that attribute from the dicom file..

Becareful using this code (in fact, do not use it.  it
is not a good code.)  It will give you an
understanding how you may reach at the 0010, 0010..

Sure, I do not use this code.  I have developed my own
libraries (2 library).  One of them is a classical
library, which you get Tag values using something like
GetTagValue(...).. My latest library is superior to
any library I have ever seen.  It is XML based.  I
dont want to talk about it.

So What I mean is that take a look at to these codes I
sent but do not use them.  it took my few hours to
write them when I was learning what Dicom file is, few
years ago.

Regards,
Aydin

Hi,

does anybody of you know how make Matlab find the DICOM-file that contains
the topogram out of a sample of several DICOM-images?

As I tried to find a solution to this problem but couldn't find one I would
be glad if you could send me some code.

I hope you can help me.

Best regards,

John

I use: Matlab R13 + Database TB + Image Proc. TB

Hi MatLab-masters,

I used the function 'dicominfo' with a DICOM-file. MatLab gives a whole list
of information about the DICOM-file. Somehow there are some informations
which stay hidden for example:

PatientsName: [1x1 struct]
PatientComments: [1x26 char]

Is there a way how to make Matlab display PatientsName and PatientComments
for the DICOM-file?

Thanx for any help in advance.

John

Hi guys,

I am a kind of new to DICOM. I would like to know more about
Modality Worklist and Performed Procedure Steps in DICOM. I want
customize the worklist.

DICOM Standard #3 and #4 describe these. But I dont feel comfortable
with these documents right now. If there are any documents available
on net, could anyone let mw know.

Hello Mark,

I think this is an appropriate topic for discussion at the WG7 meeting at AAPM.
I will add it to the agenda.

Regards

Dave

Subject: [dicomrt] gantry arcs and motorized wedges


Hello,

I would like to get an answer on the structure of the RTPlan should
be for a ganrty arc with a motorized wedge.  The question is: in the
control point sequence what is the accepted form?
This:

Ctrl point, gantry angle, gantry direction, wedge position, CMSW
0,20,CW,IN,0
1,140,CCW,IN,0.5
2,0,CW,out,0.5
3,140,NONE,1

Ganrty starts at 20 degrees, delivers half the MU between 20-140
degress with the wedge IN.  Returns to 20 with wedge out and
delivers no dose. Starts at 20 and delivers the remaining MU with
the wedge out between 20-140 degrees.

or
0,20,CW,IN,0
1,140,NONE,IN,0.5
2,140,CCW,out,0.5
3,0,NONE,1

Ganrty starts at 20 degrees, delivers half the MU between 20-140
degress with the wedge IN.  Remove the wedge and delivers the
remaining MU with the wedge out between 140-20 degrees.




Or is there another way?

The question realy releates to who the gantry directions are used in
such a Dynamic beam.

Is there a command line tool that will convert DICOM to binary
(integer value 0...65535 for each pixel) such as

convert file.dcm file.bin 256 256

I want the output file.bin to give me the value for each pixel in a
sequantial basis..so it will be a big 256x256 matix...

Thanks...

I will be out of the office starting  06/26/2003 and will not return until
07/02/2003.

I will respond to your message when I return.

We have one question regarding storing annotation objects in a DICOM
file.We need to handle the following graphic annotations: Ellipse,
Line, Angle, Rectangle, Scribble, Text and so on. These would have to
be stored in the DICOM file. We dont want to store it along with the
Image Chunk
Which group do we use to store annotations:
1. 60xx - As Overlay Objects
2. 0070


Thanks
Chan

Hi Dom

I may be naive, but it would seem to me that manually editing an RT
Plan object doesn't sound like a very safe thing to do, and under normal
circumstances wouldn't one want well integrated, tested and validated
software handling these issues ? I would have envisaged that the safety
and regulatory organizations responsible for RT delivery would raise
insurmountable obstacles to any such manipulations.

I am little unclear as to how you get the DICOM RT Plan into the
verification system that does not support DICOM; do you
edit the DICOM object and then convert it into some
other format that is supported ? I understood that IEC 1217
(and later 61217) included a definition of a coordinate system,
but not a form of communication protocol.

What do the vendors have to say about this issue ? What specific
vendors and equipment models are involved ?

I have cc'd this reply to the DICOM RT Working Group, whose vendor
representatives may have specific recommendations; their email
group and archives are accessible at:

	 "http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dicomrt/"

Hope this helps.

Hi all

I notice that there are many questions on this that having nothing to do with RT
but
are related to other DICOM matters, which must irritate the RT folks intensely.

Perhaps a more suitable place for such discussion (and place where you will find
a
broader audience able to respond) is the Usenet newsgroup
"news:comp.protocols.dicom".

If you don't have a newsfeed, read the group or post to it through Google groups
at:

"http://groups.google.com/groups?group=comp.protocols.dicom&hl=en"

Hi Dom and David,

One thing that confuses me about Dom's question is that the system that is
complaint with IEC61217 seems to be the one that does not match the other two
systems. Since DICOM mandates the use of IEC61217, that seems to imply that the
other two applications do not use IEC61217 in their DICOM encoding, which would
be a very serious issue. In any case, it seems that there is at least one
non-compliant pseudo-DICOM implementation mixed in there. Hand-modification of
the objects might be a solution that would work in your particular case, but the
underlying issue should be addressed by the manufacturer(s) as soon as possible.

Regards

Dave

Hi, i think its already obvious from the title, anyone knows what is
the measurement unit?
