Target: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP Short: DICOMatic; Medical Images converter To Install: Uncompress the file to a temporary directory and run setup.exe E-Mail: sales@tomovision.com Web: http://www.tomovision.com/ ==================================================== ==================================================== Note: DICOMatic can be put in trace mode from the keyboard with the CTRL-0 to CTRL-5 keys. ==================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ======== readme fr DICOMatic.exe ===================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== Using DICOMatic from the command line If you want to use DICOMatic in a batch or call it from another program, here's the syntax: DICOMatic [-v] [-t *] [-a *] [-b *] [-c *] [-d *] [-o *] [-f *] [-r *] [-m *] [-p] [-n] [-l *] [-q] [-z] [-x * *] [-y * *] --- Trace & debugging information --- [-t *] Set trace level (0 to 5) [-v] give back the version number --- input/output files --- [-a *] input file (or folder) Only 1 file or folder per call. if * is a folder, DICOmatic will recursively parse the tree structure and convert all the files it found. NOTE: if the "-i" argument is present, DICOMatic will not open a window [-b *] output name (by default, the output name is the input file name with the ".dcm" extension [-c *] * is the name of a file where the program will write the name of all the files it has used to create the DICOM output. This is only usefull for file format where the data is spread over multiple files. [-d *] directory: place the converted file in this directory instead of the default (with the original image) [-o *] override file. * is the name of an attribute file that can be used to set default or override tag values. --- DICOM parameters --- [-d *] directory of the created DICOM files. by default this is the dir. of the source image. [-p] private pass through. Private tag are permited to migrate to the DICOM image. (only if they already are in VR explicit) [-f *] "from" the argument will be added to DICOM derivation tag (0008:2111) [-r *] "root" the argument will be used as root UID instead of Tomovision's root UID [-m *] "modality" used to force the modality of the created file. * is the 2 character code of the image's modality (ex: SC for secondary capture) [-n] if no patient name is found in the image, use the file name as patient name. --- licenses --- [-q] license flag querry (return with code) [-l *] license date querry (return with exp. date for code *) [-z] Enable the Net HASP network dongles --- Windows parameters --- [-x * *] X position & dimension of window [-y * *] Y position & dimension of window Note: if the an argument contains spaces, it must be protected by quotes (ex: DICOMatic -a "c:\dir with spaces\file name with spaces") ==================================================== Return Codes If the program successfully convert the image, it will return 0. If not, the following return values describe the problem the program has encountered: 1: The image format is not known to DICOMatic 3: DICOMatic was unable to open the input file 4: DICOMatic was unable to open the output file 5: The image header seem to be corrupt 6: The image data seem to be corrupt 8: a 3D data set contains to many images for DICOMatic >10: no valid license was found for the image format. (ret-10) is the actual modality. This is just a warning, since the image was created with a watermark anyway. the modalities are: 1-CT, 2-MR, 3-US, 4-NM, 5-OT ==================================================== The UID generated in DICOMatic are: The Root UID: the TomoVision prefix (1.2.826.0.1.36800.43.2.307) or the user defined prefix (see the command line arguments) The Creator UID: the Root UID followed by a "." followed by a code representing the original format (1 to 99) The Instance UID: the Creator UID followed by a "." followed by a code representing the Patient's name (1 to 99999) followed by a code representing the Patient's ID (1 to 999999) The Study UID: the Instance UID followed by a "." followed by the Study date (1 to 9999) followed by the Study number + 1 (1 to 999999) The Series UID: the Study UID followed by a "." followed by the Series number + 1 (1 to 999) The Image UID: the Series UID followed by a "." followed by the Acquisition number (if present) + the temporal number (if present) + the accession number (if present) + 1 (1 to 999) followed by the Image's number + 1 (1 to 9999) The Frame of reference UID: the Study UID followed by a "." followed by "1001" Note: The maximum lenght that an image UID can have is 64 bytes. The scheme we use can take up to 38 characters, so you can not have a Root UID longer than 26 characters! The TomoVision prefix has 25 characters. ====================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ======== readme for readOmatic.exe =================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== Note 1: ======== in order to use readOmatic, you need a SCSI tape drive, a Pioneer MOD/WORM drive or a standard MOD drive in your computer. At this time most 9-track, DAT, Exabytes, MOD and Pioneer MOD drives are supported: If your drive is not one of these, you can add it to the "SCSI_List.dat" file. running the program will generate a "readO_unknow.dat" file in the c:\temp directory with your drive's information. You can use this information to add your drive to the list, or E-mail us that file with a description of your drive (brand, model...) and we will add it to the list for you. To enable the "Store in DICOM Format" option, you must have DICOMatic installed in the same directory as readOmatic. To enable the "Push to DICOM Server" option, you must have OFFIS "storescu" program installed in the same directory as readOmatic. You can get storescu from OFFIS' site at: http://www.offis.uni-oldenburg.de/projekte/dicom/soft-docs/soft01_e.html Note 2: ======= To use SCSI devices under Win95/98 ---------------------------------- In order to use SCSI devices under Win95, you must have ASPI drivers installed. On a generic Win95/98 install, there will be ASPI drivers from Microsoft automatically installed for you. If you have an Adaptec SCSI card, it doesn't hurt to update the ASPI drivers for Win95/98 with the upgraded drivers from the Adaptec web site. You can get the Adaptec drivers from: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverindex.html (search for ASPI32) To use SCSI drives under NT and 2000 ------------------------------------- The latest version of readOmatic now use ASPI interface, if it is installed under Windows NT, 2000 and XP. If the ASPI has not been installed, readOmatic will use the SPTI interface. You dont need the ASPI interface, but if readOmatic has problems with your drives, you should install it! Starting with version 4.7, Adaptec ASPI now support Windows 2000 and XP. The last time we check, the download for version 4.7 was "aspi_v470.exe" and it could be downloaded at: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASPI-4.70&filekey=aspi_v470.exe ====================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ============ revision history ======================== ====================================================== ====================================================== ====================================================== The software's revision history can be found in the file: DICOMatic_ReleaseNotes.txt ==================================================== This product is FDA Class 1 device.
