Hello,

Refer to attached Dicom Image, a multiframe (9 frames) that has per-frame different pixel spacing. I tried to acces those, using Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence ($5200, $9230).

Code:


  with IO.Params.DICOM_Tags do
  begin
    n := IndexOf($5200, $9230);

    if n >= 0 then
    begin
      c := GetTagChildren(n);
    end;

    ShowMessage(IntToStr(c.count);
  end;


I expected c.count to 9, equal to the number of frames. Instead, I got 1.

Am I using correct way to acces sequence, or is there somehing else I missed?

I also loaded this image in your demo project "Dicom". When displaying raw dicom tags, you can see that there is something strange with indentation, which increases with every frame. Same image checked with DCMTK (Offis) gave correct xml, with correct indentation (no nesting tags that should not be nested).

Regards, Ronald

Thanks for the feedback, Ronald. Upon investigation it turns out we are not reading the structure correctly on some types of DICOM. We have a fix. Can you please email me to test it.

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for the reply. However, refer to attached xml representation, created with Offis DCMTK, which shows that $5200,$9230 is a sequence with 9 items, as expected per dicom standard http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part03/sect_C.7.6.16.html).
Given the "Increasing indentation", could it be that ImageEn is missing a sequence ending somewhere?

Regards, Ronald

Hi Ronald

In this file $5200,$9230 is sequence (SQ) with a single item. This item then contains 14 items. You can get these 14 items with:

var
  tags: TIEDicomTags;
  tag: PIEDicomTag;
  children: TObjectList;
begin
  imageenview.io.loadfromfiledicom('mr.dcm');
  tags := imageenview.IO.Params.DICOM_Tags;
  tag := tags.GetTag($5200, $9230);
  if (tag <> nil) then
  begin
    tags := tag^.Children[0] as TIEDicomTags;   // first item contains the actual sequence
    showmessage(inttostr(tags.Count));
  end;
end;
