[Gdcm-hackers] want to use gdcm to find pixel data offsets in file

[Aaron B. <bo...@gm...>]

Hello!

I want to create a method that will parse a dicom file up until the
pixel data, and then
return the pixel data size and offset in the file. ( I don't want to
read in the pixel data).
If the data is compressed, I just want the offset to the compressed
data. Also, if it is a multi-frame image, I would like a list of all
of the frames, with offset and size.

Mathieu has kindly pointed me to the gdcmStreamImageReader class. From
a quick look,
it seems that this class will do part of the job. It parses up until
the pixel data, and then
reads the rest of the file in all at once. Can anyone suggest any
existing classes that can
help me to parse a multi-frame object, and get the frame offsets?

Thanks!!
Aaron
