SetBitmapValue method (ILEADDicomDS)

VB.NET example

C# example

Visual Basic example

Visual C++ 6.0 example

 

Syntax

short SetBitmapValue (long lCompression, long lPhotometric, short nBitsPerPixel, short nQFactor, long lFlags);

Overview

Refer to Working with Data Sets.

Remarks

This method replaces all the images in the Pixel Data Element with the image in the Bitmap property.

Most DICOM files will only have one Data Element of type TAG_PIXEL_DATA. Therefore, in most instances the CurrentElement property can be NULL, since the method will automatically replace the images of the only Pixel Data Element in the file. If the CurrentElement property is not NULL, it must contain the Pixel Data Element itself.

If the DICOM file is CLASS_BASIC_DIRECTORY, the file may contain more than one Pixel Data Element. In this case you must specify in the CurrentElement property the Pixel Data Element in which the images will be replaced.

If you wish to replace only one image within the Pixel Data Element, you must use DeleteBitmapValue method and InsertBitmapValue method.

For a table of possible Compression, Photometric, BitsPerPixel, and Quality Factor combinations, refer to Compression Table.

For more options when using the JPEG 2000 compression, refer to the J2KOptions property.

Time Slot Vector

This function is indifferent to the pixel data restrictions imposed by the various DICOM IOD classes, for example this function will allow the user to insert a colored image into a "Digital X-Ray Image Storage" dataset.

This function will always insert a "Number of Frames" (0028, 0008) element and set its value.
