6 dcmcjpls - Encode DICOM file to JPEG-LS transfer syntax
7
10 dcmcjpls [options] dcmfile-in dcmfile-out
11
13 The dcmcjpls utility reads an uncompressed DICOM image (dcmfile-in),
14 performs a JPEG-LS compression (i. e. conversion to an encapsulated
15 DICOM transfer syntax) and writes the converted image to an output file
16 (dcmfile-out).
17

84 # This options selects the JPEG-LS lossless only transfer syntax
86 # and performs a lossless compression.
87 +en --encode-nearlossless
89 encode JPEG-LS near-lossless TS (NEAR: 2)
90 # This options selects the JPEG-LS lossy transfer syntax
92 # and performs a near-lossless compression.
93 JPEG-LS bit rate (near-lossless only):
95 +md --max-deviation [d]eviation: integer (default: 2)
97 defines maximum deviation for an encoded pixel
98 # This option specifies the maximum deviation for a single pixel from
100 # the original pixel value.
101 lossless compression:
103 +pr --prefer-raw
105 prefer raw encoder mode (default)
106 # This option enables the raw encoder. The raw encoder encodes the
108 # complete pixel cell as it was read from the source image without
109 # performing any modifications.
110 +pc --prefer-cooked
112 prefer cooked encoder mode
113 # This option enables the cooked encoder. The cooked encoder moves
115 # overlay data to separate tags (60xx,3000) and only encodes the
116 # stored bits in each pixel.
117 JPEG-LS compression:
119 +t1 --threshold1 [t]hreshhold: integer (default for 8 bpp: 3)
121 set JPEG-LS encoding parameter threshold 1
122 +t2 --threshold2 [t]hreshhold: integer (default for 8 bpp: 7)

133 set JPEG-LS encoding parameter limit
134 JPEG-LS interleave:
136 +il --interleave-line
138 force line-interleaved JPEG-LS images (default)
139 # This flag forces line-interleaved mode for the resulting image.
141 # In line-interleave mode each line from the source image is
142 # compressed separately for each component and then the next line
143 # is encoded.
144 +is --interleave-sample
146 force sample-interleaved JPEG-LS images
147 # This flag forces sample-interleaved mode for the resulting image.
149 # In sample-interleave mode each pixel's components are encoded before
150 # the next pixel is encoded.
151 +in --interleave-none
153 force uninterleaved JPEG-LS images
154 # This flag forces uninterleaved mode for the resulting image.
156 # In this mode, each of the image's components are completely encoded
157 # before the next component is handled.
158 +iv --interleave-default
160 use the fastest possible interleave mode
161 # This flag selects an interleave mode based on the source image's mode.
163 # If possible, the image is not converted to a different interleave mode.
164 encapsulated pixel data encoding options
166 encapsulated pixel data fragmentation:
167 +ff --fragment-per-frame
169 encode each frame as one fragment (default)
170 # This option causes the creation of one compressed fragment for each
172 # frame (recommended).

175 limit fragment size to s kbytes
176 # This option limits the fragment size which may cause the creation of
178 # multiple fragments per frame.
179 basic offset table encoding:
181 +ot --offset-table-create
183 create offset table (default)
184 # This option causes the creation of a valid offset table for the
186 # compressed JPEG fragments.
187 -ot --offset-table-empty
189 leave offset table empty
190 # This option causes the creation of an empty offset table
192 # for the compressed JPEG fragments.
193 SOP Class UID:
195 +cd --class-default
197 keep SOP Class UID (default)
198 # Keep the SOP Class UID of the source image.
200 +cs --class-sc
202 convert to Secondary Capture Image (implies --uid-always)
203 # Convert the image to Secondary Capture. In addition to the SOP Class
205 # UID, all attributes required for a valid secondary capture image are
206 # added. A new SOP instance UID is always assigned.
207 SOP Instance UID:
209 +ud --uid-default
211 assign new UID if lossy compression (default)
212 # Assigns a new SOP instance UID if the compression is lossy JPEG.

257 -p --padding-off
259 no padding
260 +p --padding-create [f]ile-pad [i]tem-pad: integer
262 align file on multiple of f bytes
263 and items on multiple of i bytes
264
266 The dcmcjpls utility compresses DICOM images of all SOP classes.
267 However, dcmcjpls does not attempt to ensure that the compressed image
268 still complies with all restrictions of the object's IOD.
269 The user is responsible for making sure that the compressed images he
271 creates are compliant with the DICOM standard. If in question, the
272 dcmcjpls utility allows one to convert an image to secondary capture -
273 this SOP class does not pose restrictions as the ones mentioned above.
274
276 dcmcjpls supports the following transfer syntaxes for input (dcmfile-
277 in):
278 LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2
280 LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
281 DeflatedExplicitVRLittleEndianTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.1.99 (*)
282 BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.2
283 (*) if compiled with zlib support enabled
285 dcmcjpls supports the following transfer syntaxes for output (dcmfile-
287 out):
288 JPEGLSLosslessTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.80
290 JPEGLSLossyTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.81
291
293 The level of logging output of the various command line tools and
294 underlying libraries can be specified by the user. By default, only
295 errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream. Using
296 option --verbose also informational messages like processing details
297 are reported. Option --debug can be used to get more details on the
298 internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes. Other logging levels
299 can be selected using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
300 errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the application
301 will usually terminate. For more details on the different logging
302 levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.
303 In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with
305 logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option
306 --log-config can be used. This configuration file also allows for
307 directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for
308 filtering certain messages based on the module or application where
309 they are generated. An example configuration file is provided in
310 <etcdir>/logger.cfg.
311
313 All command line tools use the following notation for parameters:
314 square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots
315 indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
316 means 0 to n values.
317 Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
319 or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
320 options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if
321 options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
322 behavior conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix
323 shells.
324 In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@'
326 sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
327 argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file
328 (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator unless they
329 appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation.
330 Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file.
331 This simple but effective approach allows one to summarize common
332 combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing
333 command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).
334
336 The dcmcjpls utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries
337 specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
338 the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
339 <datadir>/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
340 the application (default for Windows).
341 The default behavior should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH
343 environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are
344 required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as
345 the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (':') separates entries.
346 On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The data
347 dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in the
348 DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data dictionary
349 can be loaded.
