Dcmj2pnm tojpeg patient name missing

Question

I am new in Dcmj2pnm . i have succesfully converted a Dcm file to jpg through commandline in Win 7 using C:\dcmj2pnm.exe D:\test.dcm D:\test.jpg +oj +Wi 1

But it misses the patient name and organization name in dcm file to jpeg.

Could you please guide me how to get thease details in to my jpeg file ?

The documentation does not mention moving any tags to exif. I did a quick test here and no tags where transferred. — john elemans, Nov 15 '16 at 20:52
JPEG files don't define a standard way of storing patient/org info. How did you expect it to be stored? — BitBank, Nov 17 '16 at 13:20

dcmj2pnm is not capable of transferring DICOM header data to JPEG header data (which is referred to as EXIF). It is limited to extract and convert the pixel data contained in the DICOM file.
