dicom_readerR Documentation

A very simple DICOM reader.

Description

Note this reader is very basic and does not use a DICOM dictionary or try to convert the data to the correct datatype. For a more robust and sophisticated reader use the oro.dicom package.

Usage

dicom_reader(
  input,
  tags = list(sop_class_uid = "0008,0016"),
  endian = "little",
  debug = FALSE
)

Arguments

input

either a file path or raw binary object.

tags

a named list of tags to be extracted from the file. eg tags <- list(spec_data = "7FE1,1010", pat_name = "0010,0010")

endian

can be "little" or "big".

debug

print out some debugging information, can be "little" or "big".

Value

a list with the same structure as the input, but with tag codes replaced with the corresponding data in a raw format.
