|
Parameter |
Description |
|
|
hDS |
A DICOM handle to the data set. |
|
|
pszUID |
Character string that contains the UID of the new transfer syntax. Possible values are: |
|
|
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
|
UID_IMPLICIT_VR_LITTLE_ENDIAN |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2" |
|
|
UID_EXPLICIT_VR_LITTLE_ENDIAN |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.1" |
|
|
UID_EXPLICIT_VR_BIG_ENDIAN |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.2" |
|
|
UID_JPEG_BASELINE_1 |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.50" |
|
|
UID_JPEG_EXTENDED_2_4 |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.51" |
|
|
UID_JPEG_LOSSLESS_NONHIER_14 |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57" |
|
|
UID_JPEG_LOSSLESS_NONHIER_14B |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70" |
|
|
UID_RLE_LOSSLESS |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.5" |
|
|
UID_JPEG2000_LOSSLESS_ONLY |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90" |
|
|
UID_JPEG2000 |
"1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91" |
|
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. This parameter only applies when the new transfer syntax will involve compressing pixel data using a lossy compression. |
|
|
uFlags |
Flag that indicates how the compression will be performed. Possible values are: |
|
|
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
|
DICOM_CHANGETRAN_MINIMIZE_JPEG_SIZE |
[0x00000001] If set, and the new transfer syntax uses JPEG compression, the JPEG compression engine will use optimized Huffman tables, which results in better compression, but slower speed. |
|
|
DICOM_CHANGETRAN_RESCALE_MODALITY_LUT_WHEN_LOSSY_COMPRESSED |
[0x00000002] If set, and the new transfer syntax uses JPEG lossy compression, any modality LUT present will be rescaled to account for changes in minimum and maximum grayscale values due to lossy compression. |
|
|
DICOM_CHANGETRAN_YBR_FULL |
[0x00000100] This flag is valid only for color images, and if pszUID is one of the following:
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). |
Returns
|
DICOM_SUCCESS |
The function was successful. |
|
>0 |
An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
Comments
This function will convert the data set's transfer syntax to the transfer syntax specified in pszUID, maintaining all elements and values in the data set.
After this function is called all previous references to data elements in the data set will no longer be valid.
This function is especially useful when sending a C_STORE_REQ message using the L_DicomSendCStoreRequest function. The user can match the data set transfer syntax with the transfer syntax of the SCP.
If this function returns the error DICOM_ERROR_WRITE, one of the causes could be that your system is missing the LEADTOOLS file filter LFCMPU.DLL. Specifically, this error will be returned if either the original transfer syntax or the new transfer syntax is one of the following:
UID_JPEG_BASELINE_1
UID_JPEG_EXTENDED_2_4
UID_JPEG_LOSSLESS_NONHIER_14
UID_JPEG_LOSSLESS_NONHIER_14B
Make sure that the LFCMPU.DLL is in the same folder as the other LEAD DLLS. For more information see Files To Be Included With Your Application.
