Tool/script to generate DICOMDIR

Question

I am looking for a standalone tool (for Windows XP) that generates a DICOMDIR file from a directory containing DICOM images. I have looked at http://www.tomovision.com/products/dicom_dir.htm but it gives me a runtime error. Can anyone recommend any tool for this purpose?

Answer 1

The DICOM Toolkit (DCMTK) from Offis at http://dicom.offis.de/ contains such a tool named dcmmkdir.

If you keep getting runtime errors you should check your files for standard compliance. Offis also has a tool for checking DICOM files against the standard, but this one must be licensed separately.

Answer 2

I managed to generate the DICOMDIR using dcm4che http://www.dcm4che.org. I used the dcmdir tool: dcmdir -c exam_folder/DICOMDIR exam_folder/
