DICOM PS3                                         6 March 2014                                         DCDUMP(1)

dcdump  reads  the named dicom or acr-nema input file and describes the information contained, attempting
       to interpret the structure of the message, including nested sequences (cf. andump).

       The group and element number, dictionary and explicit value representation,  description  of  tag,  value
       length and value of the element are displayed, optionally with an offset byte count from the start of the
       file.

       The attribute values, description and verbose output go to standard error.

       Binary attributes are written in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x". Numeric string attributes are written
       in  decimal.  Attribute  values  are displayed in hexadecimal or string format as determined by the value
       representation.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

       -verbose
              Display byte offset from file start and message start, in hexadecimal,  and  dump  contents  while
              reading and once read.

       -filename
              Show  the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen will be reported if no filename was
              supplied.
