NAME
dckey - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... Extract attribute values
SYNOPSIS
dckey [ -ignorereaderrors ] [ -v|verbose ] [ -filename ] [ -describe ] [ -brief ] [
-d|decimal ] [ -key|k elementname|(0xgggg,0xeeee) ] ...
DESCRIPTION
dckey reads the named dicom input file and displays the values of the selected attributes.
Binary attributes are written in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x" and numeric string
attributes are written in decimal as they are encoded, unless the -decimal option is
specified.
OPTIONS
The attribute values, description and verbose output go to standard error.
The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program
are:
-describe
Display the tag, name, value representation and value length of the attribute.
-brief
Display the keyword of the attribute, and equals sign, and then the value, for use
in scripts that automatically extract multiple values in the same dckey invocation.
Implies -noerror.
-ignorereaderrors
Attempt to extract key values even if errors encountered whilst parsing DICOM file.
-noerror
Do not report an error if the requested attribute was not found, just an empty
value or line. Implied by -brief.
-d|decimal
Display the first (or only) value of a numeric attribute as a decimal value.
-k|key elementname|(0xgggg,0xeeee)
Add a key to the list of attributes to be extracted. The attribute may also be
specified as a hexadecimal pair of the form (0xgggg,0xeeee), which also allows
private attributes to be fetched.
-filename
Show the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen will be reported if
no filename was supplied.
