NAME

    dcmdrle


SYNOPSIS

    dcmdrle [options] dcmfile-in dcmfile-out


SUMMARY

The dcmdrle utility reads a RLE-compressed DICOM image (dicomfile-in),
decompresses the image data (i. e. conversion to a native DICOM transfer syntax)
and writes the converted image to an output file (dicomfile-out).


USAGE

dcmdrle: Decode RLE-compressed DICOM file
usage: dcmdrle [options] dcmfile-in dcmfile-out

parameters:
  dcmfile-in                     DICOM input filename to be converted
  dcmfile-out                    DICOM output filename

general options:
  -h      --help                 print this help text and exit
          --version              print version information and exit
  -v      --verbose              verbose mode, print processing details
  -d      --debug                debug mode, print debug information
processing options:
  SOP Instance UID options:
    +ud   --uid-default          keep same SOP Instance UID (default)
    +ua   --uid-always           always assign new UID
output options:
  output file format:
    +F    --write-file           write file format (default)
    -F    --write-dataset        write data set without file meta information
  output transfer syntax:
    +te   --write-xfer-little    write with explicit VR little endian (default)
    +tb   --write-xfer-big       write with explicit VR big endian TS
    +ti   --write-xfer-implicit  write with implicit VR little endian TS
  post-1993 value representations:
    +u    --enable-new-vr        enable support for new VRs (UN/UT) (default)
    -u    --disable-new-vr       disable support for new VRs, convert to OB
  group length encoding:
    +g=   --group-length-recalc  recalculate group lengths if present (default)
    +g    --group-length-create  always write with group length elements
    -g    --group-length-remove  always write without group length elements
  length encoding in sequences and items:
    +e    --length-explicit      write with explicit lengths (default)
    -e    --length-undefined     write with undefined lengths
  data set trailing padding (not with --write-dataset):
    -p=   --padding-retain       do not change padding
                                 (default if not --write-dataset)
    -p    --padding-off          no padding (implicit if --write-dataset)
    +p    --padding-create       [f]ile-pad [i]tem-pad: integer
                                 align file on multiple of f bytes
                                 and items on multiple of i bytes


ENVIRONMENT

The dcmconv utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries specified in
the DCMDICTPATH environment variable.  By default, if the DCMDICTPATH
environment variable is not set, the file /usr/local/dicom/lib/dicom.dic will
be loaded.  The default behaviour should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH
environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are required.
The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as the shell PATH
variable in that a colon (":") separates entries.  The data dictionary code
will attempt to load each file specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment
variable.  It is an error if no data dictionary can be loaded.
