Parameter

Description

hDS

A DICOM handle.

pElement

Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure within the Data Set.

pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to insert.

nIndex

Index value that indicates the position at which the bitmap will be inserted. This is a zero-based index. For example, if nIndex is 0, the new image will be inserted as the first image in the Pixel Data Element.

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_SAVE_OVERLAYS

[0x0001]If set, the function will automatically insert the overlays associated with the input bitmap into the dataset.

 

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.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_OVERWRITE_SHARED

[0x0008] If set, existing elements under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence will be overwritten. If this flag is not included, Shared Functional Groups Sequence elements are unchanged.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_PER_FRAME

[0x0010] If the Frame VOI LUT Sequence does not already exist, it is added under the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence.

If the Frame VOI LUT Sequencealready exists under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence, this flag is ignored.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_SHARED

[0x0020] If the Frame VOI LUT Sequence does not already exist, it is added under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence.

If the Frame VOI LUT Sequencealready exists under the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence, this flag is ignored.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_MODALITY_LUT_PER_FRAME

[0x0040] If the Pixel Value Transformation Sequence does not already exist, it is added under the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence.

If the Pixel Value Transformation Sequencealready exists under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence, this flag is ignored.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_MODALITY_LUT_SHARED

[0x0080] If the Pixel Value Transformation Sequence does not already exist, it is added under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence.

If the Pixel Value Transformation Sequencealready exists under the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence, this flag is ignored.

 

DICOM_SETIMAGE_YBR_FULL

[0x00000100] This flag is valid only for color images, and if nCompression  is one of the following:

  • IMAGE_COMPRESSION_NONE

  • IMAGE_COMPRESSION_RLE

It is ignored for all other transfer syntax values.  If set, this converts the RGB image data to YCbCr, which is one luminance (Y) and two chrominance planes (CB and CR).

pfnCallback

Optional callback function for additional processing.

  • If you do not provide a callback function, use NULL as the value of this parameter.

  • If you do provide a callback function, use the function pointer as the value of this parameter.

 

The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in FILESAVECALLBACK Function.

pUserData

Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs.

 

To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID  *. The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.

 

If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.

Returns

DICOM_SUCCESS

The function was successful.

>0

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

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 image 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 image.

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.

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 Pixel Value Transformation Sequence (0028,9145) item, or a Frame VOI LUT Sequence (0028,9132) item. The five DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG flags can be used to add or modify existing information in the Pixel Value Transformation Sequence or the Frame VOI LUT Sequence.

The following flags are used only if the corresponding sequence (Frame VOI LUT Sequence or Pixel Value Transformation Sequence) does not already exist.

In this case, the sequence is placed in the sequence indicated by the flag (Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence or Shared Functional Groups Sequence).

If a Frame VOI LUT Sequence or a Pixel Value Transformation Sequence already exists in a DICOM dataset, the four above flags are ignored, and the sequence is placed in the location where sequences already exist.

For a detailed discussion on Multi-frame Functional Groups and how the DICOM_SET_IMAGE_MFG flags are used, see the topic Multi-frame Functional Groups.

Note:

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_PER_FRAME cannot be combined with DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_SHARED.

DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_MODALITY_LUT_PER_FRAME cannot be combined with DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_MODALITY_LUT_SHARED.

Note that the only valid values are for nPhotometric are:

All other values are ignored.

 

The nPhotometric  parameter is used as an indicator as how the data image data will be saved: gray, color, or palletized. The nPhotometric parameter is NOT necessarily going to be the final value of the Photometric Interpretation that is stored in the resulting DICOM dataset.  The resulting Photometric Interpretation in the DICOM dataset is set automatically, based on the compression type, flags, and QFactor.  The table below gives examples of the resulting DICOM dataset Photometric Interpretation, based on various input parameters:
