DICOM-RT ROI Name length #56

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What are the DICOM imposed limits for ROI Name length? 

Also can you tell me where this is in the DICOM documentation?

Looking at ROI Name (3006, 0026) in the DICOM tree in dicompyler, the VR for 
this tag is set to LO (long string). This can also be found in part 6 of the 
DICOM standard on page 114: 
ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/2011/11_06pu.pdf

Therefore, I would assume, by following part 5 of the DICOM standard: 
ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/2011/11_05pu.pdf on page 26, it states 
that long strings can have a maximum of 64 characters.

Technically this is more relevant to DICOM in general, but by looking up any 
tag in part 6 and respective VR in part 5, you should be able to find out 
character limits for any given tag.
