Hi,

This is Si Ling, I would like to seek your advice on the following question.


I'm using vtkDICOMImageReader to get patient's information like name, descriptive name, studyID and studyUID, and image data. I wanted to get patient's ID. How can I do that?

vtkDICOMImageReader doesn't provide this function.

Posisble solutions:
1.     Using vtkMedicalImageReader2.
2.     Get a library to read the DICOM image's dcm file/extension.
3.     Use itk-snap.

I tried using vtkMedicalImageReader2 but I got an empty string. Is there a simple way to get patient's ID?

Thank you so much for your help.
