Overwrite an image/pixel data in the dicom file using dcmtk - c++

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??

The basic approach should be:
load the DICOM dataset from file
replace the pixel data in the dataset
modify various other element values (e.g. SOP Instance UID)
save the modified DICOM dataset to a new file
In case of uncompressed images, the second step could be performed in the same manner as the third step, i.e. by an appropriate call of a putAndInsertXXX() method on the dataset. Of course, the element value of the Pixel Data attribute should be in correct DICOM format. See DICOM standard part 3 and 5 for details.

C++ iterate avro schema and map it to Key Value (name , type)

I'm learning Avro & C++ (both together :) ) and what i'm trying to do is:
Load a schema.
Map the schema fields to key / value paris of name & type.
Then iterate the avro data according to the mapping.
From what I've found and did, I'm extracting the schema from the Avro data file, and handles it as GenricDatum.
When I try to iterate it's fields - I get the name ok, but the field type is null, where I would expect to get the actual type. any help would be appreciated.
My code:
const char *avroFilePathCstr = avroFilePath.c_str();
avro::DataFileReader<avro::GenericDatum> reader(avroFilePathCstr);
auto dataSchema = reader.dataSchema();
avro::GenericDatum datum(dataSchema);
ProcessAvroSchema(dataSchema);
void ProcessAvroSchema(avro::GenericDatum schema) {
const avro::GenericRecord& schemaRecord = schema.value<avro::GenericRecord>();
for(unsigned int i = 0 ; i < schemaRecord.fieldCount(); i++)
{
avro::GenericDatum fieldDatum = schemaRecord.fieldAt(i);
cout << "SCHEMA:: fieldName: " << schemaRecord.schema() -> nameAt(i) << " , fieldType: " << fieldDatum.type() << "\n";
}
}

How to read the length of audio files using Juce "C++." Without playing the file

I'm trying to display the length of audio files in a Playlist component for an application.
I've not used Juce or C++ before, and I can't understand how to do that from Juce documentation.
I want to make a function that takes an audio file's URL and returns the length in seconds of that audio without playing that file or doing anything else with that file.
I've tried a lot of things, and all of them didn't work, and this is the last thing I've tried:
void PlaylistComponent::trackStats(URL audioURL)
{
AudioFormatManager formatManager;
std::unique_ptr<AudioFormatReaderSource> readerSource;
AudioTransportSource transportSource;
auto* reader = formatManager.createReaderFor(audioURL.createInputStream(false));
if (reader != nullptr)
{
std::unique_ptr<AudioFormatReaderSource> newSource(new AudioFormatReaderSource(reader, true));
transportSource.setSource(newSource.get(), 0, nullptr, reader->sampleRate);
readerSource.reset(newSource.release());
DBG("PlaylistComponent::trackStats(URL audioURL): " << transportSource.getLengthInSeconds());
}
else
{
DBG("Something went wrong loading the file");
}
}
And this is the PlaylistComponent header file:
class PlaylistComponent : public juce::Component,
public juce::TableListBoxModel,
public Button::Listener,
public FileDragAndDropTarget
{
...
}
juce::AudioFormatReaderSource has a method called getTotalLength() which returns the total amount of samples.
Divide that by the sample rate of the file and you have the total length in seconds. Something like this:
if (auto* reader = audioFormatReaderSource->getAudioFormatReader())
double lengthInSeconds = static_cast<double> (audioFormatReaderSource->getTotalLength()) / reader->sampleRate;
You can do this very early on in the audio file opening procedure. You only need an AudioFormatReader instance (no need to create an AudioFormatReaderSource):
// create juce::File from a path juce::String (from a drag & drop event etc).
File file{filePath};
// make sure it is a file and not a directory, etc.
if (!file.existsAsFile()) return;
// create the AudioFormatReader that contains the data
AudioFormatReader *reader = formatManagerInstance.createReaderFor(file);
// make sure a valid reader can be created (not an unsupported file)
if (reader == nullptr) return;
// log the length in seconds
std::cout << reader->lengthInSamples / reader->sampleRate << "\n";
Note: for this to work you will need to
have access to your AudioFormatManager instance and
have already registered the format(s) of the file type (usually through a .registerBasicFormats() call on your AudioFormatManager instance.
IMPORTANT: if successful the createReaderFor() method uses new to create a new AudioFormatReaderInstance, so make sure to use delete on it when you are finished using it to avoid memory leaks

findAndGetString() in DCMTK returns null for the tag

I am developing a quick DICOM viewer using DCMTK library and I am following the example provided in this link.
The buffer from the API always returns null for any tag ID, eg: DCM_PatientName.
But the findAndGetOFString() API works fine but returns only the first character of the tag in ASCII, is this how this API should work?
Can someone let me know why the buffer is empty the former API?
Also the DicomImage API also the same issue.
Snippet 1:
DcmFileFormat fileformat;
OFCondition status = fileformat.loadFile(test_data_file_path.toStdString().c_str());
if (status.good())
{
OFString patientName;
char* name;
if (fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientName, patientName).good())
{
name = new char[patientName.length()];
strcpy(name, patientName.c_str());
}
else
{
qDebug() << "Error: cannot access Patient's Name!";
}
}
else
{
qDebug() << "Error: cannot read DICOM file (" << status.text() << ")";
}
In the above snippet name has the ASCII value "50" and the actual name is "PATIENT".
Snippet 2:
DcmFileFormat file_format;
OFCondition status = file_format.loadFile(test_data_file_path.toStdString().c_str());
std::shared_ptr<DcmDataset> dataset(file_format.getDataset());
qDebug() << "\nInformation extracted from DICOM file: \n";
const char* buffer = nullptr;
DcmTagKey key = DCM_PatientName;
dataset->findAndGetString(key,buffer);
std::string tag_value = buffer;
qDebug() << "Patient name: " << tag_value.c_str();
In the above snippet, the buffer is null. It doesn't read the name.
NOTE:
This is only a sample. I am just playing around the APIs for learning
purpose.
The following sample method reads the patient name from a DcmDataset object:
std::string getPatientName(DcmDataset& dataset)
{
// Get the tag's value in ofstring
OFString ofstring;
OFCondition condition = dataset.findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientName, ofstring);
if(condition.good())
{
// Tag found. Put it in a std::string and return it
return std::string(ofstring.c_str());
}
// Tag not found
return ""; // or throw if you need the tag
}
I have tried your code with your datasets. I just replaced the output to QT console classes to std::cout. It works for me - i.e. it prints the correct patient name (e.g. "PATIENT2" for scan2.dcm). Everything seems correct, except for the fact that you apparently want to transfer the ownership for the dataset to a smart pointer.
To obtain the ownership for the DcmDataset from the DcmFileFormat, you must call getAndRemoveDataset() instead of getDataset(). However, I do not think that your issue is related that. You may want to try my modified snippet:
DcmFileFormat file_format;
OFCondition status = file_format.loadFile("d:\\temp\\StackOverflow\\scan2.dcm");
std::shared_ptr<DcmDataset> dataset(file_format.getAndRemoveDataset());
std::cout << "\nInformation extracted from DICOM file: \n";
const char* buffer = nullptr;
DcmTagKey key = DCM_PatientName;
dataset->findAndGetString(key, buffer);
std::string tag_value = buffer;
std::cout << "Patient name: " << tag_value.c_str();
It probably helps you to know that your code and the dcmtk methods you use are correct, but that does not solve your problem. Another thing I would recommend is to verify the result returned by file_format.loadFile(). Maybe there is a surprise in there.
Not sure if I can help you more, but my next step would be to verify your build environment, e.g. the options that you use for building dcmtk. Are you using CMake to build dcmtk?

Printing title of mp3 file

I am trying to read id3 tags with id3v2lib
My code is:
ID3v2_tag* tag = load_tag(argv[1]); // Load the full tag from the file
if(!tag){
tag = new_tag();
}
const char * t = "Matej";
ID3v2_frame* artist_frame = tag_get_artist(tag); // Get the full artist frame
ID3v2_frame* title_frame = tag_get_title(tag);
ID3v2_frame_text_content* title_content = parse_text_frame_content(title_frame);
if( title_content){
cout << title_content->data << endl;
}
This does print title of song. However, for some files it prints unreadable garbage.
I am not sure if the file is somehow corrupted. But using
eyeD3 on files that outputs garbage for title works fine.
Has anyone met with same problem? What could be the cause

Titanium Alloy Caching in Android/iOS? Or Preserving old views

Can we Cache Dynamically Created Lists or View till the webservices are called in background. I want to achieve something like the FaceBook App does. I know its possible in Android Core but wanted to try it in Titanium (Android and IOS).
I would further explain it,
Consider I have a app which has a list. Now When I open for first time, it will obviously hit the webservice and create a dynamic list.
Now I close the app and again open the app. The old list should be visible till the webservice provides any data.
Yes Titanium can do this. You should use a global variable like Ti.App.myList if it is just an array / a list / a variable. If you need to store more complex data like images or databases you should use the built-in file system. There is a really good Documentation on the Appcelerator website.
The procedure for you would be as follows:
Load your data for the first time
Store your data in your preferred way (Global variable, file system)
During future app starts read out your local list / data and display it until your sync is successfull.
You should consider to implement some variable to check wether any update is needed to minimize the network use (it saves energy and provides a better user experience if the users internet connection is slow).
if (response.state == "SUCCESS") {
Ti.API.info("Themes successfully checked");
Ti.API.info("RESPONSE TEST: " + response.value);
//Create a map of the layout names(as keys) and the corresponding url (as value).
var newImageMap = {};
for (var key in response.value) {
var url = response.value[key];
var filename = key + ".jpg"; //EDIT your type of the image
newImageMap[filename] = url;
}
if (Ti.App.ImageMap.length > 0) {
//Check for removed layouts
for (var image in Ti.App.imageMap) {
if (image in newImageMap) {
Ti.API.info("The image " + image + " is already in the local map");
//Do nothing
} else {
//Delete the removed layout
Ti.API.info("The image " + image + " is deleted from the local map");
delete Ti.App.imageMap[image];
}
}
//Check for new images
for (var image in newImageMap) {
if (image in Ti.App.imageMap) {
Ti.API.info("The image " + image + " is already in the local map");
//Do nothing
} else {
Ti.API.info("The image " + image + " is put into the local map");
//Put new image in local map
Ti.App.imageMap[image] = newImageMap[image];
}
}
} else {
Ti.App.imageMap = newImageMap;
}
//Check wether the file already exists
for (var key in response.value) {
var url = response.value[key];
var filename = key + ".png"; //EDIT YOUR FILE TYPE
Ti.API.info("URL: " + url);
Ti.API.info("FILENAME: " + filename);
imagesOrder[imagesOrder.length] = filename.match(/\d+/)[0]; //THIS SAVES THE FIRST NUMBER IN YOUR FILENAME AS ID
//Case1: download a new image
var file = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, "/media/" + filename);
if (file.exists()) {
// Do nothing
Titanium.API.info("File " + filename + " exists");
} else {
// Create the HTTP client to download the asset.
var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
xhr.onload = function() {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
// On successful load, take that image file we tried to grab before and
// save the remote image data to it.
Titanium.API.info("Successfully loaded");
file.write(xhr.responseData);
Titanium.API.info(file);
Titanium.API.info(file.getName());
};
};
// Issuing a GET request to the remote URL
xhr.open('GET', url);
// Finally, sending the request out.
xhr.send();
}
}
In addition to this code which should be placed in a success method of an API call, you need a global variable Ti.App.imageMap to store the map of keys and the corresponding urls. I guess you have to change the code a bit to fit your needs and your project but it should give you a good starting point.
