MATLAB: Do I receive missing attribute errors when using the DICOMANON function in Image Processing Toolbox 5.0.2 (R14SP2)

attributedicomanonImage Processing Toolboxmissingsopclassuid

When using the DICOMANON function in Image Processing Toolbox 5.0.2 (R14SP2):
dicomanon('image.dcm','anonimage.dcm','update',values);
I receive the following error:
 Error Messages: ??? Error using ==> images\private\dicom_copy_IOD
 Missing required attribute (0008,0016) "SOPClassUID"
 Error in ==> dicomanon at 129
     dicomwrite(X, filename_out, metadata, 'createmode', 'copy');

Best Answer

This behavior occurs when the source DICOM image is missing the "SOPClassUID" attribute. The following code example demonstrates how to work around this issue:
imageInfo=dicominfo('image.dcm');
values.MediaStorageSOPClassUID=imageInfo.SOPClassUID;
dicomanon('image.dcm','anonimage.dcm','update',values);
