Can slices be saved with .dcm file extension? Is it possible to modify the tag values or add new tags into the DICOM header?
COBRA provides output into a subset of standard DICOM format; restrictions are: 1) One file per image (slice) 2) Files are non-compressed 3) Exxim provides files with conventional file names (without Exxim ID and study ID embedded into file names). As you see since our format is rather simple and straightforward and we did not create situations that any viewer/workstation could not handle. At the same time, obviously, we cannot exclude a situation when a tool you have by some reason and in some point “is unhappy” with our DICOM. In this case, we will need more information form you. Some further comments: 1) DICOM file names do not necessarily possess .dcm extension. Getting .slice extension does not mean that they are not DICOM files. If you prefer .dcm please set it up through OPTTAG_SLCNAMEFORMAT. For example PARTAG_DICOM = 1 OPTTAG_SLCNAMEFORMAT = %04i.dcm 2) Created files contain DICOM header with a minimal set of DICOM tags. The demographic tags are generated using “dummy” values
