while reading File Meta Elements If dicom2 exhibits a really strange behavior, you might consider checking if it is really working right with your implementation. Have a look at the medical image samples page and the Performances section to download some files and compare your results with these expected. Feedback is really appreciated :) Please, send me an email reporting any bugs or problems: I will do my best to fix them. |

Too many messages | |
 |
||||
| You might be surprised by the number of messages output
by dicom2 while it is doing its work. Don't worry, most of them
are harmless... Warnings (prefixed with [W]) do not stop
the conversion process, whereas errors (prefixed with [E]) do.
>> [W] [14:13:25] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) missing tag: (0028,0004) Photometric Interpretation... >> [E] [14:13:26] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) encapsulated syntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70 is not supported! Don't forget that you can hide these annoying warning messages by using the --warn option ! |

Missing tags | |
|
||||
| Some missing tags may be assumed (as they should be there),
and therefore introduce nothing but warnings. This kind of warning is usual
when reading old ACR/NEMA files. You should use --warn
to prevent your screen from being flooded while converting hundreds of
these files.
>> [W] [14:13:25] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) missing tag: (0028,0004) Photometric Interpretation. Assuming MONOCHROME2! >> [W] [14:13:25] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) missing tag: (0028,0002) Samples per Pixel. Assuming 1! Some other tags are mandatory for a given conversion task. These missing tags will produce an error, and stop the program. >> [E] [14:21:50] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) missing image mandatory tags in set! >> [E] [14:21:50] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) missing CLUT mandatory tags in set! >> [E] [14:21:50] bool SbMedicalFrame::UpdateFrom( const SbDicomDataElementSet&, ... ) missing Windowing mandatory tags in set! |

Unable to write... | |
|
||||
| If you encounter that kind of message ("unable to write
data..."), check that you are not trying to write the converted files
to a protected directory or to any place where you are not allowed to store
data (in multi-user systems). You should also check if your hard disk is
full, or your quota exhausted :)
If you are using the --to option, you might also check that you specified a fully expanded directory (don't use ~ or $HOME). |

Error while reading File Meta Elements | |
 |
||||
If you ever read that kind of message, you are probably
trying to load a true DICOM file (i.e. with a File Preamble) written according
to an old DICOM standard which stated that File Meta Elements stored at
the beginning of the file should be saved using the DICOM Implicit VR
Little Endian Syntax. This is no more the case: these elements have
to be written using the DICOM Explicit VR Little Endian Syntax.
Nevertheless, you can force dicom2 to conform to that old behavior
by specifying the desired syntax with the --syntax
option.
