[ITK] reading private tags returns weird strings

Does Matlab have special support for those private tags? They may have special encoding besides base64 applied by ITK DICOM dictionary.

In fact, this decodes<http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/base64decode/> to 00 80 93 43 - four bytes given here in hexadecimal notation. The decoder you linked does not seem to work correctly. I don't know why you expect 295 there.

Hi Francois,

is this base64 encoded? You should perhaps do base64 decode on the return string to get the binary value.

Hi,

I'm trying to read private dicom tags using :

    ImageIOType::Pointer dicomIO = ImageIOType::New();
    ...
    dicomIO->SetLoadPrivateTags(true);
    std::string offsetFromBottomStr;

    std::string offsetFromBottom = "0863|1041";
    dicomIO->GetValueFromTag(offsetFromBottom, offsetFromBottomStr);

The value offsetFromBottomStr returned is AICTQw==
How does it come and how can I fix this ?

Thank you,
François.

Thanks for your answer. You might be right, they say here<http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/community/2016-May/011426.html> private tags and encodes the with Base64 into strings.
Unfortunately, AICTQw== should correspond to 295 and according to https://www.base64decode.org/, AICTQw== is a C.
Besides, I don't understand how does itksysBase64_Decode works (I'm not sure I should use this method too).


In fact I have previously red the dicom using matlab and the value of the private tag 0863 1041 is 295.


I don't know, it doesn't seem really matlab specific, this tool<https://github.com/gerddie/ginkgocadx> also gets a dicom inspector module which displays 295.
