I have a problem with dicomwrite which does not give any error but just writes an empty file. Even if I run the following code, starting from a legitimate DICOM file:
pkg load dicom
image = dicomread('dicomfile.dcm');
info = dicominfo('dicomfile.dcm');
dicomwrite(image,'test_dicomwrite.dcm',info)
I don’t get any error message and the file test_dicomwrite.dcm is created but it is empty.
I know that the dicom package relies on the libgdcm library and I’m not 100% sure I have it but I downloaded the Windows version of Octave that comes with the packages pre-installed and, if I search “libgdcm” in the Program Files of Octave I find a number of .dll files that seem to mirror the files in the library.
The info variable is a struct variable as I expect and image is an array of dimensions img_size, img_size, number_of_images. If I run
figure; imshow(image(:,:,1))
I get the figure that I expect so I don’t think the problem is in the variables.
Can anyone help?
My system
- OS: e.g. Windows 10 Education 21H2
- Octave version: Version 7.1.0
- Installation method: Downloaded and installed “octave-7.1.0-w64-installer.exe” from Download
