DCM4CHEE - Coerce DICOM tags with Multiple Values (VM>1)

[Tim Leibovich]

I need to map the Pixel Spacing tag (0028, 0030) to the Imager Pixel Spacing field (0018, 1164), and I am running dcm4chee 2.18.0 with PSQL.

I added the below to the dcm4chee-attribute-filter.xml under <series>:

<attr tag="00181164" field="seriesCustomAttribute2"/> <!-- Imager Pixel Spacing -->

I also added the below to the cstorerq.xsl file within the <dataset> section:

<xsl:variable name="pixelsp" select="normalize-space(attr[@tag='00280030'])" /> 

<attr tag="00181164" vr="DS">

<xsl:value-of select="$pixelsp"/>

</attr>

In the case that the value of the Pixel Spacing (0028, 0030) tag is "0.1\0.1" the log shows the error: 

[org.dcm4cheri.data.StringElement] Illegal DS Value: 0.1\0.1

When I performed an dcm2xml on one of the images, it shows the below for the Spacing info:

<DicomAttribute keyword="PixelSpacing" tag="00280030" vr="DS">

<Value number="1">0.1</Value>

<Value number="2">0.1</Value>

</DicomAttribute>

I think what needs to happen is that I need to find a way using XSLT to alter the values separately.  But, since I'm new to XML/XSLT scripts, I am having trouble finding a way to do that.

Could someone help me figure out what XSLT code I could use within cstorerq.xsl to transform these values as needed?

Thanks,

Tim

Nevermind on this post... Looks like it is mapping it properly even though it is throwing the warning.

Thanks,
