How to download a DCM object in code

[joey michael ponce]

Hello, 

I was wondering how to download a dcm object from dcm4che using PHP? using Wado requests i can open the dcm image, and adding 'download' in the anchor tag allows to download the image as a jpg. But I was wondering how to download the same image as a dcm object? 

Thank you

If you look at the WADO specification, you can add switches to the http URL to specify DICOM (as well as PNG) as the file format.

P.S. The standard is available at: http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/pdf/part18.pdf

Thank you for the reply. When I tried the sample though, it downloaded the file as just a 'file'. but when i changed the downloaded file and added a .dcm extension, i was able to upload it back to dcm4che no problems. It might be on the php code now to add the extension.

Incidentally the DICOM standard does not specify a file extension of dcm although many programs use it. You software should ideally be able to handle files by looking at the headder.
