Standard docs (dictionary)

Replace the bundled DICOM dictionary with a newer one, or revert to it.

Settings → Standard docs. Controls the dictionary behind every tag description in the app: the Standard docs panel, the edit modal’s module list, and the QA tab’s conformance findings.

The dictionary is compiled from the innolitics/dicom-standard project at build time. Uploading a newer archive from that project is how you move to a later edition of the standard without waiting for an app release.

What the panel shows

• Active source — Bundled with app, or Uploaded dictionary once you have replaced it.
• Tags — how many elements the active dictionary resolves.

Neither the dictionary nor the upstream data carries a DICOM edition number, so the panel reports the source and size it can actually verify rather than a version string. The upstream links point at the current edition of the standard.

Uploading

Upload standard ZIP… accepts the innolitics/dicom-standard archive and nothing else. It is compiled in the background and cached, so the cost is paid once. A malformed or unrelated archive is rejected with the reason shown in the panel; the active dictionary is left alone.

Revert to bundled discards the uploaded dictionary and returns to the one shipped with this build. It is disabled when the bundled dictionary is already active.

Caution Both actions reload the app, which discards pending tag edits. With unsaved edits present, the button asks for a second press and tells you how many will be lost. Export first if you want to keep them.

This panel is the only way in once a study is open. On the start screen you can also drop or open an archive directly — there is no session to lose there. Anywhere else, selecting one tells you to come here instead.
