Basic usage

The read function of DcmParser parses the given DCM-file and stores internally the parsed values.

Sample program: from dcmReader.dcm_reader import DcmReader

dcm = DcmReader()
dcm.read("tests/Sample.dcm")

readFunctions = dcm.get_functions()
for fnc in readFunctions:
    print(fnc)

Will return:

You can also save a DCM object to a file with the write function. The output is sorted first by FUNKTION then by LANGNAME. This can also be used to sort a DCM file:

from dcmReader.dcm_reader import DcmReader

dcm = DcmReader()
dcm.read("tests/Sample.dcm")
dcm.write("tests/Sample_sorted.dcm")
