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.
