Attached you will find a console application that loads in a Dicom file and prints out the module count, module name, each element within the module and more. This is very similar to the module list viewing from the Dicom Demo that can found here:

C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\DotNet\CS\DicomDemo

The core to this project is simply a nested for loop that loops through one module at a time then will retrieve each element within that module. You can view that code below:

Code:


//Loop through each module in the dataset
for (int j = 0; j <= totalModules - 1; j++)
{
   module = dataSet.FindModuleByIndex(j);

   string s =
      $"Module Number: {j + 1}\n" +
      $"Module Type: {module.Type.ToString()}\n" +
      $"Module Element Count: {module.Elements.Length}\n\n";

   Console.WriteLine(s);

   //Loop through each element within the module
   for (int i = 0; i <= module.Elements.Length - 1; i++)
   {
      element = module.Elements[i];

      DicomTag tag = DicomTagTable.Instance.Find(element.Tag);

      output =
     $"Element Name: {tag.Name}\n" +
     $"Tag: {element.Tag} \n" +
     $"VR: {element.VR.ToString()}\n";

      Console.WriteLine(output);
   }
}
