LDicomDS::SetWindow

#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT16 LDicomDS::SetWindow(uFrameIndex, uWindowIndex, pWindowAttributes, uFlags)

Sets the attributes that describe the window center and the window width.

Returns

Comments

This function will set the attributes that describe window center and window width.

Before calling this function, initialize pWindowAttributes->uStructSize to be sizeof (DICOMWINDOWATTRIBS) and initialize all the members of the structure.

If "Window Center" (0028,1050) does not already exist in the dataset this function will insert it and set its value to pWindowAttributes-> fWindowCenter.

If "Window Width" (0028,1051) does not already exist in the dataset this function will isnert it and set its value to pWindowAttributes-> fWindowWidth.

The Multi-frame Functional Groups module may have a Shared Functional Groups Sequence item, and/or a Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence item. Either of these items may have a Frame VOI LUT Sequence (0028,9132) item. The uFlags parameter can be used to add or modify existing information in the Frame VOI LUT Sequence.

The following flags are used only if the Frame VOI LUT Sequence does not already exist.

• DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_PER_FRAME

• DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_SHARED

In this case, the sequence is placed in the sequence indicated by the flag (Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence or Shared Functional Groups Sequence).

If a Frame VOI LUT Sequence already exists in a DICOM dataset, uFlags is ignored and the sequence is placed in the location where sequences already exist.

The specific elements that are read or updated when using these flags are shown below:
