Hi,

I'm using the DCMViewer tool (latest version 3.1) for validating a DICOM file. That file has some standard violating issues that can are easily identified with another validator. However, when I try to open it with DCMViewer an exception is displayed instead (see below). As DCMViewer is supposed to be a validator as well I am surpised that it cannot handle this file. Am I using the tool somehow incorrectly here?

Thanks a lot in advance!

This is the exception being thrown:

Error type:
System.Xml.XmlException

Error description:
Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred. Line 705, position 98.

Did you try using the Media session present in DVT? Did it also throw an exception?

Can you please go for Windows update. I faced similar kind of problem. But when I went for Windows updates it got solved.
