L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 EXT_FUNCTION L_DicomGetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory(hDS, pElement, bChild, pBuffer, puBufferSize, pEncapsulatedDocument, pConceptNameCodeSequence)

HDICOMDS hDS;	/* a DICOM handle */
pDICOMELEMENT pElement;	/* pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure */
L_BOOL bChild;	/* flag that indicates where to insert the encapsulated document elements */
L_UCHAR *pBuffer,	/* pointer to a memory buffer where the encapsulated document will be copied */
L_UINT32 *puBufferSize;	/* pointer to an unsigned integer that contains the size of the memory buffer (in bytes) */
pDICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT pEncapsulatedDocument;	/* pointer to a DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure */
pDICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM pConceptNameCodeSequence;	/* pointer to a DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM structure */

Retrieves an encapsulated document and corresponding DICOM elements from a DICOM data set. This feature is available in version 17.5 or higher.

Parameter	Description
hDS	A DICOM handle.
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.
pBuffer	Address of the destination memory buffer where the encapsulated document will be copied.
puBufferSize	Pointer to an unsigned integer that contains the size of the memory buffer (in bytes).
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

DICOM_SUCCESS	The function was successful.
> 0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

You must call this function twice:

The first time, pass NULL for pBuffer, and the size of the required buffer will be returned in *puBufferSize.
Allocate pBuffer with a size of *puBufferSize bytes
Call L_DicomGetEncapsulatedDocument() a second time, this time passing the newly allocated pBuffer

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

PDF document
CDA document

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:

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.
If retrieving 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 creates a new DICOM dataset (hDSOutput) that contains the encapsulated document information from an existing DICOM data set (hDSInput)

L_INT DicomGetEncapsulatedDocumentMemoryExample(HDICOMDS hDSInput, HDICOMDS hDSOutput)
{
   L_UCHAR *pBuffer = NULL;
   L_UINT32 uBufferSize = 0;
   DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT EncapsulatedDocument = {0};
   EncapsulatedDocument.uStructSize = sizeof(DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT);
   DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM ConceptNameCodeSequence = {0};
   ConceptNameCodeSequence.uStructSize = sizeof(DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM);
   L_UINT16 uRet = L_DicomGetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory(hDSInput, NULL, FALSE, NULL, &uBufferSize, &EncapsulatedDocument, &ConceptNameCodeSequence);
   if (uRet != DICOM_SUCCESS)
      return uRet;
   pBuffer = new L_UCHAR[uBufferSize];
   if (pBuffer != NULL)
   {
      uRet = L_DicomGetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory(hDSInput, NULL, FALSE, pBuffer, &uBufferSize, &EncapsulatedDocument, &ConceptNameCodeSequence);
      if (uRet == DICOM_SUCCESS)
      {
         uRet = L_DicomSetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory(hDSOutput, NULL, FALSE, pBuffer, uBufferSize, &EncapsulatedDocument, &ConceptNameCodeSequence);
      }
      delete pBuffer;
   }
   return uRet;
}
