Can a DICOMDIR hold DICOM files for different Application profiles?
I have a requirement to support DICOM files with transfer syntaxes that don’t fit into one Application profile.
I need to create a DICOMDIR for storage on DVDs that can hold the following syntaxes.
Implicit VR Little Endian 1.2.840.10008.1.2
Explicit VR Little Endian 1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
JPEG Baseline 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.50
JPEG Extended 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.51
JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57
JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical, First-Order Prediction 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70
JPEG-LS Lossless Image Compression 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.80
JPEG 2000 Image Compression (Lossless Only) 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90
JPEG 2000 Image Compression 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91
DICOMDIRs, Transfer Syntax and Application Profiles
I’m working with the DCMTK version 3.68. The previous version I had a bug that allowed more transfer syntaxes than they should have for AP_GeneralPurposeDVD instead of splitting them into AP_GeneralPurposeDVDJPEG and AP_GeneralPurposeDVDJPEG2000.
