L_DicomGetModalityLUTData

#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 L_DicomGetModalityLUTData(hDS, pLUTData, uDataSize, uFlags)

HDICOMDS hDS;	/* a DICOM handle */
L_UINT16 *pLUTData;	/* pointer to the target buffer */
L_UINT uDataSize;	/* size of the target buffer */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* reserved for future use */

Retrieves "LUT Data" for a "Modality LUT Sequence".

Parameter	Description
hDS	A DICOM handle.
pLUTData	Pointer to the buffer to be updated with the "LUT Data". You must allocate the buffer before calling this function, and the buffer must be large enough to hold the "LUT Data".
uDataSize	Size of the buffer pointed to by pLUTData.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

0	The function was successful.
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will retrieve the "LUT Data" (0028,3006) under the "Modality LUT Sequence" (0028,3000).

Before calling this function you must call L_DicomGetModalityLUTAttributes and check the pModalityLUTAttributes->bIsModalityLUTSequence flag to see if a "Modality LUT Sequence" exists in the DICOM dataset or not. If the sequence exists, then you must allocate a buffer with a size greater or equal to pModalityLUTAttributes->LUTDescriptor.uNumberOfEntries and then call this function to retrieve the LUT data.
