💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so literally: dcm_dump_element dumps element from DICOM file into another. that's the whole vibe. you point her at a file, you tell her which element you want, she copies it over to the other file. main character energy fr fr 👑

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

dcm_dump_element accepts the following options, and yes you need to know all of them:

• -b — Input files are stored in big-endian byte order. big-endian bestie, byte order matters, don't play with it 🫶
• -t — Read file assuming DICOM Part 10 format. Part 10, iconic format, she'll read it that way ✨
• -v — Place DCM facility in verbose mode. now she's yapping, but usefully 💬
• group element — The tag of the element to be dumped. that's your tag, your target, the thing you're extracting 🎯
• filein fileout — Input and output files. one in, one out, that's the whole relationship 💞

🍓 NOTES 🍓

This is the method used to extract pixel data from images. 🔥

like... that's the method. pixel data extraction. iykyk. not me being obsessed with the actual pixels of it all 😭👑
