Groovy is a very elegant way of scripting dcm4che2:
import org.dcm4che2.data.* import org.dcm4che2.io.* // open stream and ensure that it is closed properly new DicomInputStream(/d:\foo.dcm/ as File).withStream {dicomInputSteam -> // read the object from input stream def dicomObject = dicomInputSteam.readDicomObject() // iterate through all elements and print the element dicomObject.each {dicomElement -> println dicomElement } }
