vtk - Get Patient's Information from DICOM images -

I use vtkDICOMImageReader to get patient information such as names, descriptive names, study IDs and study uid, and image data I am doing I wanted to get the patient's ID, how can I do it?

vtkDICOMImageReader does not provide this function.

1. Using vtkMedicalImageReader2
2. Obtain a library to read the DCM file / extension of the DICOM image.
3. Use iTK-snap.

What is the best way to get the patient's ID?

Thanks a bunch! :)

"best" way ... well, more or less opinion based. 8)

If patient ID is essential information, then it may be sufficient to use vtkMedicalImageReader2 depending on your VTK version, because a bug in earlier versions , Which always returns null instead of patient data.

But there are of course some external libraries also read the Decom header information like you can take a look at vtkGDCMImageReader
