MITK does not support Dicom Subgroup Tags
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Apparently the implementation of Dicom tag extraction implemented in MITK does not support subgroups. GDCM (and itk) seem to handle the subgroup tags equally.
But if a tag for example "Pixel Spacing" (0028 0030) is not located in the main dicom header but subcategorized by a certain subgroup, MITK does not recognize it anymore which leads to misinterpretation
(see T23537-support-dicom-spacing).

So the question arises if and how we want to add subgroup handling?

Event Timeline

@thomass Is this still relevant? If yes, what do you mean with sub groups. I don't know this term from DICOM?

thomass claimed this task.

This was also communicated to Siemens and only occured when loading their early stage clinical prototype data. Can not be reproduced with the newer data. The task can be closed for now.
