) 

Parameters

sopInstanceUID

A System.String representing the SOP Instance UID of the DICOM object to match.

stripImage

true to return the DICOM object without the image data.

transferSyntax

Character string that contains the UID of the new Transfer Syntax, pass null or System.String.Empty to keep the orginal Transfer Syntax.

qualityFactor

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. This parameter only applies when the new Transfer Syntax will involve compressing pixel data using a lossy compression. This value will be ignored if transferSyntax is null or System.String.Empty.

extraData

user custom data.

Return Value

This method allows you to retrieve a DICOM object with or without the image data. This is useful when you are only interested in the DICOM information and don’t want the original image.

You can also retrieve the DICOM object with your preferred Transfer Syntax and compression quality factor.
