create_dicom_from_oct fails when patient's name contains ä, ö, å etc

[tomi-lilja]

Hi,

When using create_dicom_from_oct, the following AttributeError occurs seemingly when there are characters like ä or ö in patient's name:

dcm = create_dicom_from_oct(f)
File "D:\Python\Lib\site-packages\oct_converter\dicom\dicom.py", line 413, in create_dicom_from_oct
files = create_dicom_from_e2e(input_file, output_dir, extract_scan_repeats)
File "D:\Python\Lib\site-packages\oct_converter\dicom\dicom.py", line 489, in create_dicom_from_e2e
fundus_images = e2e.read_fundus_image(extract_scan_repeats=extract_scan_repeats)
File "D:\Python\Lib\site-packages\oct_converter\readers\e2e.py", line 395, in read_fundus_image
patient_id=self.patient_id,
AttributeError: 'E2E' object has no attribute 'patient_id'

I was wondering if there's a way to handle these characters, too?

BR,

Tomi

Hi Tomi,

If you're able to send a scan with this problem I might be able to take a look!

Best,

Sure, here you can download a test patient e2e file with "ä" and "ö" in patient's name, which generates the error:
