NAME
dsrdump - Dump DICOM SR file and data set
SYNOPSIS
dsrdump [options] dsrfile-in...
DESCRIPTION
The dsrdump utility dumps the contents of a DICOM Structured Reporting (SR) document (file format or raw data set) to stdout in textual form. The output of the document content follows the format proposed in David Clunie's book 'DICOM Structured Reporting' (PixelMed Publishing, 2000).
If dsrdump reads a raw data set (DICOM data without a file format metaheader) it will attempt to guess the transfer syntax by examining the
first few bytes of the file. It is not always possible to correctly
guess the transfer syntax and it is better to convert a data set to a
file format whenever possible (using the dcmconv utility). It is also
possible to use the -f and -t[ieb] options to force dsrdump to read a
dataset with a particular transfer syntax.

COMMAND LINE
All command line tools use the following notation for parameters:
square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots
indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
means 0 to n values.
Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if
options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
behaviour conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix
shells.
In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@'
sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file
(multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator) prior to any
further evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain
another command file. This simple but effective approach allows to
summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish
and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file
share/data/dumppat.txt).
ENVIRONMENT
The dsrdump utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries
specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
<PREFIX>/lib/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built
into the application (default for Windows).
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 Unix 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.
