xml2dcm: Convert XML document to DICOM file or data set
usage: xml2dcm [options] xmlfile-in dcmfile-out
parameters:
xmlfile-in XML input filename to be converted (stdin: "-")
dcmfile-out DICOM output filename
general options:
-h --help print this help text and exit
--version print version information and exit
--arguments print expanded command line arguments
-q --quiet quiet mode, print no warnings and errors
-v --verbose verbose mode, print processing details
-d --debug debug mode, print debug information
-ll --log-level [l]evel: string constant
(fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace)
use level l for the logger
-lc --log-config [f]ilename: string
use config file f for the logger
input options:
input file format:
+f --read-meta-info read meta information if present (default)
-f --ignore-meta-info ignore file meta information
processing options:
validation:
+Vd --validate-document validate XML document against DTD
+Vn --check-namespace check XML namespace in document root
unique identifiers:
+Ug --generate-new-uids generate new Study/Series/SOP Instance UID
-Uo --dont-overwrite-uids do not overwrite existing UIDs (default)
+Uo --overwrite-uids overwrite existing UIDs
output options:
output file format:
+F --write-file write file format (default)
-F --write-dataset write data set without file meta information
+Fu --update-meta-info update particular file meta information
output transfer syntax:
+t= --write-xfer-same write with same TS as input (default)
+te --write-xfer-little write with explicit VR little endian TS
+tb --write-xfer-big write with explicit VR big endian TS
+ti --write-xfer-implicit write with implicit VR little endian TS
+td --write-xfer-deflated write with deflated expl. VR little endian TS
post-1993 value representations:
+u --enable-new-vr enable support for new VRs (UN/UT) (default)
-u --disable-new-vr disable support for new VRs, convert to OB
group length encoding:
+g= --group-length-recalc recalculate group lengths if present (default)
+g --group-length-create always write with group length elements
-g --group-length-remove always write without group length elements
length encoding in sequences and items:
+e --length-explicit write with explicit lengths (default)
-e --length-undefined write with undefined lengths
data set trailing padding (not with --write-dataset):
-p= --padding-retain do not change padding
(default if not --write-dataset)
-p --padding-off no padding (implicit if --write-dataset)
+p --padding-create [f]ile-pad [i]tem-pad: integer
align file on multiple of f bytes
and items on multiple of i bytes
deflate compression level (only with --write-xfer-deflated):
+cl --compression-level [l]evel: integer (default: 6)
0=uncompressed, 1=fastest, 9=best compression
