Viewing DICOM header information

To open a dialog that contains the DICOM header information for an image, use the Service Window tool. Some header information, such as a ddo_print, can be useful, for example, for checking the frame_of_reference_uid and diagnosing a scout problem.

To view DICOM header information

  1. From the Image area context or top toolbar, click Service Window.

    Or, if using the context toolbar text menu (Ctrl + right-click), select InformationService Window.

  2. Click the image you want information about.

    A Display Service Tool window appears containing two panes of DICOM information about the selected image.

  3. Repeat step 2 as required.

  4. When done viewing DICOM information, click Close. Close
