Hi

I need to display a specific DICOM attribute in the overlay annotations, but I can't manage to retrieve its value with the overlay.xml file.

I tried to add it as a single element "e", using "k=1" and "i=[DICOM tag]". It works for most DICOM tags, but not for this one, which happens to be nested within a sequence. I tried other tags wihtin the same sequence, or even other sequences, but Radiant won't display them.

Here is my code: (PT modality only)


<set m="PT" e="1">
<br>
<i r="2"><e k="2" t="Weight: "/><e k="1" i="00101030"/><e k="2" t=" kg"/></i>
<i r="1"><e k="2" t="Total dose: "/><e k="1" i="00181074"/></i>
</br>
</set>


Tag number "0010:1030" belongs to the "Patient Weight" attribute, which displays correctly.

Tag number "0018:1074" belongs to the "Radionuclide Total Dose" attribute, which does not appear in the overlays. This tag is nested within the "Radiopharmaceutical information sequence" (0054:0016), which is used in NM and PT images.

Is there a special way of introducing nested DICOM tags in the code? How can I show them in the overlay annotations?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Daniel, currently it's not possible to configure the display of DICOM nested tags in the overlay.xml file. We will add this to our to-do list.

Hello,

half one and a half year later ... is it still on the to-do list?

Best regards

Eric

Still on to-do list...
