L_UINT16 LDicomDS::GetEncapsulatedDocument(pElement, bChild, pszFileDocument, pEncapsulatedDocument, pConceptNameCodeSequence)

pDICOMELEMENT pElement;

/* pointer to a structure */

L_BOOL bChild;

/* flag that indicates where to insert the encapsulated document elements */

L_TCHAR * pszFileDocument;

/* file name of encapsulated document */

pDICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT pEncapsulatedDocument;

/* pointer to a structure */

pDICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM pConceptNameCodeSequence;

/* pointer to a structure */

Retrieves an encapsulated document and corresponding DICOM elements from a DICOM data set. This feature is available in version 16 or higher.

Parameter

Description

pElement

Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure that contains an item in the Data Set. The inserted item will be inserted as a neighbor to this item, or as a child, depending on the value of bChild.

bChild

Flag that indicates where to insert the item. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

TRUE

The new item will be inserted as the last child of pElement.

 

FALSE

The new item will be inserted as the last sibling of pElement.

pszFileDocument

Character string that contains the name of the file that will be encapsulated. This should either be a PDF or a CDA file.

pEncapsulatedDocument

Pointer to a DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure, which is filled with the encapsulated document module attributes. This member must NOT be NULL.

pConceptNameCodeSequence

Pointer to a DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM structure, which is filled with the Concept Name Code Sequence attributes. This member can be NULL.

Returns

0

DICOM_SUCCESS

> 0

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The members of the DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure and the DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM structure together represent the set of attributes contained in the "Encapsulated Document Module Attributes". The Encapsulated Information Object Definition (IOD) describes either a

that has been encapsulated within a DICOM information object.

For more information, refer to Part 3 of the DICOM standard.

The DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure corresponds to the Encapsulated Document Module Attributes described in part 3 of the DICOM specification. To retrieve the Concept Name Code Sequence element (0040,A043) pass a pointer to a pConceptNameCodeSequence item.

The pszFileDocument argument points to a file location that will contain the encapsulated document after it is extracted. If this file already exists, it will be over written.

Before calling this function:

  1. Initialize pEncapsulatedDocument ->uStructSize to be sizeof(DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT). After a successful function call, the fields of this structure will either point to the element values, or contain NULL. If a field contains NULL, this means that the corresponding element does not exist in the data set.

  2. If retrieveing the Concept Name Code Sequence element, pConceptNameCodeSequence should be the address of a DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM structure. Initialize pConceptNameCodeSequence ->uStructSize to be sizeof(DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM). After a successful function call, the fields of this structure will either point to the element values, or contain NULL. If a field contains NULL, this means that the corresponding element does not exist in the data set.

Example

This example extracts an encapsulated document and the corresponding DICOM tags from a DICOM data set.

The contents of the tags are displayed.
