I can display the following dicom data file. But I really need a command or commands to get to the numerical values. How do I get there. I tried group element and UID . Nothing gets me there. I need to be able to read this file and store the Values and manipulate them.
here is the file:
>> dicomdisp('rtplan.dcm')
File: C:\Users\Robbie\OneDrive\DoseCalc Program\rtplan.dcm (2780 bytes)
Read on an IEEE little-endian machine.
File begins with group 0002 metadata at byte 132.
Transfer syntax: 1.2.840.10008.1.2 (Implicit VR Little Endian).
DICOM Information object: 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.481.5 (RT Plan Storage).
