Inserts the bitmap list in a Pixel Data element.

Parameter

Description

hDS

A DICOM handle.

pElement

Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure within the Data Set.

hList

Handle to the list of bitmaps.

nIndex

Position of the first frame to load. Use zero-based indexing. For example, if there are 10 bitmaps in a list, the index of the last one is 9.

nCompression

Value that indicates the type of compression to use. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

IMAGE_COMPRESSION_NONE

[0x00] No compression.

 

IMAGE_COMPRESSION_RLE

[0x01] RLE compression.

 

IMAGE_COMPRESSION_JPEG_LOSSLESS

[0x02] JPEG LossLess compression.

 

IMAGE_COMPRESSION_JPEG_LOSSY

[0x03] JPEG Lossy compression.

 

IMAGE_COMPRESSION_J2K_LOSSLESS

[0x06] JPEG 2000 lossless compression.

 

IMAGE_COMPRESSION_J2K_LOSSY

[0x07] JPEG 2000 Lossy compression.

nPhotometric

Photometric constant. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

IMAGE_PHOTOMETRIC_MONOCHROME2

[0x01] 8- or 16-bits per pixel, grayscale image.

 

IMAGE_PHOTOMETRIC_PALETTE_COLOR

[0x02] 8-bits per pixel, palettized color image.

 

IMAGE_PHOTOMETRIC_RGB

[0x03] 24-bits per pixel, RGB color image.

 

nBitsPerPixel

Resulting bitmap pixel depth. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

0

Keep the original file's pixel depth (Do not convert).

 

1 to 8

The specified bits per pixel in the resultant bitmap

 

12

12 bits per pixel in the resultant bitmap.

 

16

16 bits per pixel in the resultant bitmap

 

24

24 bits per pixel in the resultant bitmap

 

32

32 bits per pixel in the resultant bitmap

nQFactor

The quality factor (Q factor) is a number that determines the degree of loss in the compression process. You can set a value from 2 to 255, where 2 is the highest quality and 255 is the most compression.

uFlags

Flags which control the behaviour of this function. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_AUTO_SET_VOI_LUT

[0x0002]If set, the function will automatically add a VOI LUT to the dataset.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MINIMIZE_JPEG_SIZE

[0x0004] If set, and the nCompression parameter is IMAGE_COMPRESSION_JPEG_LOSSLESS or IMAGE_COMPRESSION_JPEG_LOSSY, the JPEG compression engine will use optimized Huffman tables, which results in better compression, but slower speed.

Returns

0

SUCCESS

>0

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

As an example, if you wish to insert 50 images starting with the 50th frame in the Pixel Data, call this function with nIndex set to 49 (the 50th frame in a zero-based index) and the 50 frames you wish to insert in hList.

Most DICOM files will only have one Data Element of type TAG_PIXEL_DATA. Therefore, in most instances you can set pElement to NULL, since the function will automatically insert the images into the only Pixel Data Element in the file. If pElement is not NULL, it must point to 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 pElement the Pixel Data Element in which to insert the images.

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 L_DicomSetJ2KOptions.

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.
