[ome-users] ImageProcessorReader.getSeriesMetadata() for extracting DICOM tags

[Mohammad Samarah]

We are using ImageProcessorReader to extract DICOM tags from an RVG image.
All seems to be well, however it does not seem to return repeating tags
particularly tag id 0008,0104.  Are there specific options needed to extract
repeated tags? And are there known limitations with the Imetadata class? I
have attached the DICOM tags table and Java code in question below.

Thanks for your help,

ImageProcessorReader r = new ImageProcessorReader(new
ChannelSeparator(LociPrefs.makeImageReader()));
try
{
    ServiceFactory factory = new ServiceFactory();
    OMEXMLService service = factory.getInstance(OMEXMLService.class);
    IMetadata meta = service.createOMEXMLMetadata();
    log_message("INFO: Examining file " + imagePath);
    r.setMetadataStore(meta);
    r.setGroupFiles(false);
    r.setId(imagePath);
  
    metadata = r.getSeriesMetadata();
    Set<String> keys = metadata.keySet();
    for(String key: keys)
    {
        System.out.println("Value of "+key+" is: "+metadata.get(key));
    }
}
