Add a Dicom tag to the dictionary.

[4it...@gmail.com]

I would like to add a proprietary tag to the dictionary and seem unable to either find the right object or get it to work.

 

I would greatly appreciate if someone could show me an example.

Create an xml file with your tags.

 

Like this -->

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<dictionaries>
<dictionary creator="STENTOR">

 <tag group="0073" element="0010" vr="ST" vm="1">Stentor Private Tag</tag>

 <tag group="0073" element="1001" vr="ST" vm="1">Sending Hostname</tag>
 <tag group="0073" element="1002" vr="ST" vm="1">Sending IP Address</tag>
 <tag group="0073" element="1003" vr="ST" vm="1">Sending AE Title</tag>

 <tag group="0073" element="1006" vr="UI" vm="1">Sending Transfer Syntax</tag>

</dictionary>

</dictionaries>

Then in your code, something like this -->

 

DicomDictionary.Default.Load("Path\\privateDictionary.xml", DicomDictionaryFormat.XML);

Hi Lee,

what's next after you add the DicomDictionary? how you can write the tags into your DCM / DicomDIr?

Thanks!

I followed Lee's instruction, defining my own dictionary and invoking  DicomDictionary.Default.Load(). However, it seems my private tags not being added to the dictionary.

Any other steps needed?

Thanks,
