[Insight-users] DICOM information

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Xiaopeng,

Please look at the example

      ITK/Examples/IO/DicomImageReadPrintTags.cxx

The tags that you need are listed here:

http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/DICOM.html

0010,0010 	PatientName
0010,0040 	PatientSex
0010,1010 	PatientAge

In the Example above,
the lines of code 300 to 333 show you
how to get the patient name.

You can get the other values by using the
DICOM tags for Sex and Age.



    Regards


          Luis
