DICOM to JSON

[ncwo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using  ConvertDicomToXML to convert DICOM to XML 

Is it possible to convert DICOM to JSON?

Thanks

Of course you can first convert Dicom to XML and then use an package like json.net to convert the xml to json :-)

There is also a class JsonDicomConverter in namespace Dicom.Serialization. this should be what you are looking for.

Thanks!

Following your advise I am trying to use JsonDicomConverter.cs BUT, I get an error at ParseTag method return type :

 internal static DicomTag ParseTag(string tagstr)

        {

            if (Regex.IsMatch(tagstr, @"\A\b[0-9a-fA-F]+\b\Z"))

            {

                var group = Convert.ToUInt16(tagstr.Substring(0, 4), 16);

                var element = Convert.ToUInt16(tagstr.Substring(4), 16);

                var tag = new DicomTag(group, element);

                return tag;

            }

            return DicomDictionary.Default[tagstr]; // error cannot convert string to Dicom.Dicom.DicomTag

        }

Thanks in advance

I see. Did you reference to the latest fo-dicom release?

because there was a change on 29.05.2017 by Rickard Holmberg in DicomDictionary that also affected JsonDicomConverter. This was some weeks after releasing 3.1.0-alpha

you could dowlnoad the complete development branch and build with that. or you browse in github to the version before this change and use this JsonDicomConverter.cs: https://github.com/fo-dicom/fo-dicom/blob/c912a0b7f1257fc5fbe8059f7175372d49c2804e/Serialization/Json/JsonDicomConverter.cs

by the way, the change was "only" some performance improvement, so no worry to use the older version of JsonDicomConverter. there is no known bug.
