[Insight-developers] gdcm patient orientation

[Lorensen, William E (GE, Research)]

Mathieu,

My dicom checker complains:

(0x0020,0x0020)  CS  4        [L\P]                                      # Patient Orientation
!!                            ERROR : Patient Position (0x0020,0x0020) must not be present
!!                                    if (0x0020, 0x0032) and (0x0020, 0x0037) are required

In Table C.7-9 of the dicom standard:

Patient direction of rows and columns of the image. Required if imkage does not require Image Orientation (Patient) (0020,0037) and Image Position (Patient) (0020,0032). See C.7.6.1.1.1 fr further explanation.


I think gdcm should not be adding 0020|0020 if the others are present. However, this does not seem to affect processing on the A/W.
