NAME
andump - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... Describe ACR-NEMA file content
SYNOPSIS
andump [ -ancreate ] [ -extractCSA ] [ -showoffset|-showoffset-hex
|-showoffset-octal|-showoffset-oct |-showoffset-
decimal|-showoffset-dec ] [ -filename ]
DESCRIPTION
andump reads the named acr-nema input file and describes the
information contained, without attempting to interpret the structure of
the message (cf. dcdump).
The group and element number, dictionary and explicit value
representation, description of tag, value length and value of the
element are displayed, optionally with an offset byte count from the
start of the file.
OPTIONS
The attribute values, 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:
-ancreate
Display item, end item and end sequence delimiter tags in a form
suitable to feed into ancreate.
-extractCSA
Extract the DICOM-like attributes buried within the Siemens
private CSA header OB value.
-showoffset|-showoffset-hex
Display byte offset from file start in hexadecimal.
-showoffset-octal|-showoffset-oct
Display byte offset from file start in octal.
-showoffset-decimal|-showoffset-dec
Display byte offset from file start in decimal.
-filename
Show the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen
will be reported if no filename was supplied.
