[Insight-users] Dicom anonymize - gdcm::FileHelper::SetKeepMediaStorageSOPClassUID(true)

[Thomas Boettger]

Hello everybody,

I wrote a small program to anonymize a loaded dicom dataset.
Unfortunately my Image Type will always get modified as well (to
"Derived\Primary"), which is not good as I need to keep this tag as it
was, because otherwise my main application (commercial one) won't
accept the anonymized dataset.

I found the gdcm::FileHelper would actually allow that kind of stuff,
documentation:

"...4) When user *knows* he didn't modified the pixels, he may ask the
writer to keep some
informations unchanged :
'Media Storage SOP Class UID' (0x0002,0x0002)
'SOP Class UID'               (0x0008,0x0016)
'Image Type'                  (0x0008,0x0008)                <---- THATS MY TAG
'Conversion Type'             (0x0008,0x0064)
He has to use gdcm::FileHelper::SetKeepMediaStorageSOPClassUID(true)..."


But in the itk::GDCMImageIO I did not find a method to call this one.
Thats why the tag gets always overwritten.

Did I miss something and does anybody know a quick solution?


  Thanks in advance,
