composer require mmerlijn/dicom

Usage

$filename = '_.dcm';
$dicom = \mmerlijn\dicom\Nanodicom::factory($filename);

$dicom->parse(array(array(0x0010, 0x0010)));
// Only a small subset of the dictionary entries were loaded
echo $dicom->profiler_diff('parse')."<br>";

echo 'Patient name if exists: '.$dicom->value(0x0010, 0x0010)."<br>"; // Patient Name if exists

// This will return nothing because dictionaries were not loaded
echo 'Patient name should be empty here: '.$dicom->PatientName."<br>";

Store jpg file

            // To write another format, pass the format in second parameter.
            // This will write a png image instead
            // $test->write_image($image, $dir.$file.'.'.$index, 'png');
