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.
