Reading DICOM for first time users

[JoelThan89]

Hi, I'm a first time user of ImageMagick. I've read only several threads that it is possible to read dicom files and defineSet() must be used.

How should I fill in defineSet? It says the type, key, flag.

so should it be? My issue is what should xx, yy, zz values should be?

Image image;
image.defineSet(xx,yy,zz);
Image.read("test.dcm);

Perhaps see the DCM entry at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ. Also provide your exact command line and if possible your images.

Are you using the command line or API? If the latter which one?

Hi,

My IM version is ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16. I'm implementing Magick++ in Visual Studio 2017 (C++). The code i've been trying to execute is below; However i've read threads that defineSet(). Appreciate any help for novices like me. Thanks.

Code: Select all

#include <Magick++.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace Magick;
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
    // Read image file from disk
    Image image( "DCM0000.dcm" );
    return 0;
}

However i've read threads that defineSet().

Where have you read this?

After reading the image, have you tried writing it to another format, eg PNG?

[JoelThan89]

When trying to read i've got an error.
code

Code: Select all

#include <Magick++.h> 
#include <iostream> 

using namespace std;
using namespace Magick;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	// Initialise ImageMagick library
	InitializeMagick(*argv);
		Image image("DCM0000.dcm");
	return 0;
}

error

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception at 0x000007FEFD2CA06D in Project6.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: Magick::ErrorCorruptImage at memory location 0x00000000001BF070.

I think the problem is memory related?

The defineSet() mentioned was from an old post below

I suggest you catch exceptions within your program. Otherwise, we can only guess what the problem is. There are loads of examples in the source distribution -- see "try" and "catch".

I can read a DCM file with no problems in a Magick++ program, with no defines.

Hi everyone, i've just realised my dicom file is corrupted and now works with another dicom file. Thanks for the help everyone
