Remarks

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

If "Window Center" (0028,1050) does not already exist in the Data Set, this method will insert it and set its value to DicomWindowAttributes.WindowCenter.

If "Window Width" (0028,1051) does not already exist in the Data Set, this method will isnert it and set its value to DicomWindowAttributes.WindowWidth.

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.
The specific elements that are read or updated when using these flags are shown below:
(0028,9132) Frame VOI LUT Sequence Child Elements
Tag Name
(0028,1050) Window Center
(0028,1051) Window Width
(0028,1055) Window Center & Width Explanation



Valid flags are DicomSetImageFlags.None, DicomSetImageFlags.MfgOverwriteShared, DicomSetImageFlags.MfgVoiLutPerFrame, DicomSetImageFlags.MfgVoiLutShared. All other flags are ignored. For a detailed discussion on Multi-frame Functional Groups see the topic Multi-frame Functional Groups.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Silverlight 3.0, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7, MAC OS/X (Intel Only)
