NAME

       dciodvfy - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Validate DICOM objects

SYNOPSIS

       dciodvfy  [ -profile profilename ] [ -describe ] [ -dump ] [ -v|verbose
                 ] [ -filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       dciodvfy  reads  the  named  dicom  file  and  describes  the  type  of
       information  object  (SOP class instance) contained therein, validating
       it  against  the  standard  and  checking  for  required  modules   and
       attributes, and appropriate representation and values of attributes.

OPTIONS

       The description and verbose output go to standard error.

       Binary  attributes  are  written  in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x".
       Numeric string attributes are written in decimal. Attribute values  are
       displayed  in  hexadecimal  or string format as determined by the value
       representation.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options  specific
       to this program are:

       -profile profilename
              Validate not against the standard but the IOD matching the named
              profile.

       -describe
              Describe the contents of the object without getting too verbose.

       -dump
              Dump the attribute list; differs from dcdump in that the list is
              decorated with whether or not the attribute is used in  the  IOD
              and  what  information  entity the attribute belongs to based on
              the IOD.

       -verbose
              Display byte offset  from  file  start  and  message  start,  in
              hexadecimal, and dump contents while reading and once read.

       -filename
              Show  the  name  of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen
              will be reported if no filename was supplied.
