I use dcmtk to read a dicom file and extract the image into a .tiff format. After doing some image processing I have an image which I would like to save in the source dicom file.That is overwriting the old image/pixel data with my new ones, while keeping rest of the data(uid,patient name,,etc) same.
I use the following code to read dicom
OFCondition status = src_fileformat.loadFile(src_path);
if (status.good())
{
Sint32 instanceNumber = 0;
if (src_fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetSint32(DCM_InstanceNumber, instanceNumber).good())
{
cout << "instance Number N: " << instanceNumber << endl;
sprintf(instanceNum, "%d", instanceNumber);
printf("%s\n", instanceNum);
}
else
cerr << "Error: cannot access Instance Number!" << endl;
}
else
cerr << "Error: cannot read DICOM file (" << status.text() << ")" << endl;
src_dcm = new DicomImage(src_path);
if (src_dcm != NULL)
{
if (src_dcm->getStatus() == EIS_Normal)
{
if (src_dcm->isMonochrome())
{
src_dcm->setMinMaxWindow();
Uint8 *pixelData = (Uint8 *)(src_dcm->getOutputData(16 /* bits */));
if (pixelData != NULL)
{
src_dcm->writeBMP("source.tiff", 24); /* do something useful with the pixel data */
}
}
}
else
cerr << "Error: cannot load DICOM image (" << DicomImage::getString(src_dcm->getStatus()) << ")" << endl;
}
After image processing I have an image that I want to overwrite onto this source dicom file. I looked into image2dcm,but I couldn't get the correct syntax/method to do. any one help me out.. :)
Edit-1
Image2Dcm i2d;
I2DOutputPlug *outPlug = new I2DOutputPlugSC();
I2DImgSource *inputPlug = new I2DJpegSource();
E_TransferSyntax writeXfer;
inputPlug->setImageFile(jpgFile);
DcmDataset *dataset = NULL;
OFCondition result = i2d.convert(inputPlug, outPlug, dataset, writeXfer);
// Saving output DICOM image
if (result.good())
{
dataset->putAndInsertString(DCM_PhotometricInterpretation,"RGB");
DcmFileFormat dcmff(dataset);
result = dcmff.saveFile(dcmFile, writeXfer);
}
I tried the above shown syntax,but couldn't exactly understand it
This is the processed image(above)
This is the original dicom image that I want to overwrite. Guys ,any idea or help??
