NAME

       dcposn - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - DICOM locate position

SYNOPSIS

       dcposn [ -col|x n ] [ -row|y n ] [ -v|verbose ] [ -filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       dcposn  reads the named dicom input file and locates the requested image pixel position in 3D space using
       the attributes of the Image Plane module (Image  Position  Patient  and  Image  Orientation  Patient)  if
       present.

       The  spatial  position  is described as patient (not gantry) relative x, y and z co-ordinates, where x is
       +ve leftwards, y is +ve anteriorly and z is +ve cranially.

OPTIONS

       The co-ordinates and verbose output go to standard error.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

       -col|x n -row|y n
              The specified image pixel position begins from 0 in the top left hand corner of the image.

       -verbose
              Display byte offset from file start and message start, in hexadecimal,  and  dump  contents  while
              reading and once read.

       -filename
              Show  the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen will be reported if no filename was
              supplied.
