NAME

       andump - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... Describe ACR-NEMA file content

SYNOPSIS

       andump  [  -ancreate  ]  [ -extractCSA ] [ -showoffset|-showoffset-hex |-showoffset-octal|-showoffset-oct
                 |-showoffset-decimal|-showoffset-dec ] [ -filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       andump reads the named acr-nema input file and describes the information contained, without attempting to
       interpret the structure of the message (cf. dcdump).

       The  group  and  element  number, dictionary and explicit value representation, description of tag, value
       length and value of the element are displayed, optionally with an offset byte count from the start of the
       file.

OPTIONS

       The attribute values, description and verbose output go to standard error.

       Binary attributes are written in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x". Numeric string attributes are written
       in decimal. Attribute values are displayed in hexadecimal or string format as  determined  by  the  value
       representation.

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

       -ancreate
              Display item, end item and end sequence delimiter tags in a form suitable to feed into ancreate.

       -extractCSA
              Extract the DICOM-like attributes buried within the Siemens private CSA header OB value.

       -showoffset|-showoffset-hex
              Display byte offset from file start in hexadecimal.

       -showoffset-octal|-showoffset-oct
              Display byte offset from file start in octal.

       -showoffset-decimal|-showoffset-dec
              Display byte offset from file start in decimal.

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