How to get the keyword of a tag in dcm4che2?

[Xiaohu Mo]

Hi,

Is there any method to get the keyword of a DICOM tag as specified in DICOM standard part 6?  For example, something like getTagKeyword(0020,0032) could return "ImagePositionPatient".

The closest I've found is the nameOf() method, which returns the "name" of the tag. E.g. obj.nameOf(dec2hex("0020,0032")) returns "Image Position (Patient)".

Any help is much appreciated.

Best regards,

Xiaohu

Thanks!

I found this works in dcm4che 3.x.

Does similar method exist in dcm4che2?

No.
You may workarround by

String keywordOf(int tag) {
        for (Field field : Tag.class.getDeclaredFields()) {

            try {

              if (field.getInt(null) == tag)
                return field.getName();

            } catch (Exception ignore) {};

        }

        return null;

}
