resolving IOD Specification for given SOP class

[Mikołaj Klaman]

Hello,

my knowledge of DICOM standard is very limited, yet I am trying to develop a simplified PACS system (DICOM STORE SCP) as my engineer thesis project using dcm4che library.

I want to be able to extract attributes from received DICOM files and I struggle with recognizing which attributes are relevant for given DICOM instance.

For example when I receive image with SOP class 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.1 I can check here that it means Computed Radiography Image Storage and that all of the relevant attributes are listed in modules that are part it`s IOD.

Is there any way for resolving some kind of IOD object with list of modules, each containing list of attribute tags for given SOP UID using dcm4che?

Or perhaps there is a way of iterating over all set attributes (at the Image level)?

I will appreciate any kind of help/guidance.

The dcm4che toolkits (versions 1, 2 and 3) all include sample store-scp implementations that should help you - see dcmrcv source code (versions 1 and 2).

From what I can see dcmrcv/stroscp from dcm4che toolkit 2 and 3 just save the file on the fiesystem. Howewer dcmdump from dcm4che3 does read dicom file and print all of its attributes which is almost what I wanted. 

I guess in order to replicate the structure of different SOP classes` IODs and modules defined in the DICOM specification I need to hardcode them myself (or parse from some external file).
