1gdcmdump(1) GDCM gdcmdump(1)
2
6 gdcmdump - dumps a DICOM file, it will display the structure and values
7 contained in the specified DICOM file.
8
10 gdcmdump [options] dcm_file
11 gdcmdump [options] dcm_directory
12
14 The gdcmdump command line program dumps a DICOM file to the console.
15 For those familiary with dcmdump output, gdcmdump has some minor
16 differences. Namely:
17 ยท For Implicit Transfer Syntax gdcmdump will print ?? instead of the
19 dictionary VR
20 gdcmdump has a limited private dictionary that is used to lookup
21 private element whenever possible.
23 dcm_file DICOM input filename
24 dcm_directory DICOM input directory
26 OPTIONS
27 -x --xml-dict generate the XML dict (only private elements for now).
28 -r --recursive recursive (input is a directory)
29 -d --dump dump value (limited use).
30 -p --print print value instead of simply dumping (default).
31 -c --color print in color.
32 -C --csa print SIEMENS CSA Header (0029,[12]0,SIEMENS CSA HEADER).
33 -P --pdb print GEMS Protocol Data Block (0025,1b,GEMS_SERS_01).
34 -A --asn1 print encapsulated ASN1 structure >(0400,0520).
35 general options
36 -h --help
37 print this help text and exit
38 -v --version
40 print version information and exit
41 -V --verbose
43 verbose mode (warning+error).
44 -W --warning
46 warning mode, print warning information
47 -E --error
49 error mode, print error information
50 -D --debug
52 debug mode, print debug information
53 special options
54 -I --ignore-errors dumps even if file is corrupted (advanced users only, see disclaimers).
56 Printing Implicit Transfer Syntax
57 The VR are not found in the file, thus are presented with a '(??)', and
58 right next to it (if found) the correct VR.

77 Print Private Attributes
78 GDCM has a limited private dictionary. Whenever possible, it will try
79 to lookup the private data element.

108 SIEMENS CSA Header
109 Using this option it is possible to dump as a readable text what is
110 contained in the private attribute as found in typical SIEMENS MR DICOM
111 file.
