L_DicomGetImageList

#include "Ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 L_DicomGetImageList(hDS, pElement, hList, nIndex, nCount, nBitsPerPixel, uFlags)

HDICOMDS hDS;	a DICOM handle
pDICOMELEMENT pElement;	pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure
HBITMAPLIST hList;	handle to the list of images
L_UINT32 nIndex;	index value
L_UINT32 nCount;	number of frames to load
L_INT32 nBitsPerPixel;	resulting image pixel depth
L_UINT uFlags;	flags

Loads the image list with frames from a Pixel Data element.

Parameter	Description
hDS	A DICOM handle.
pElement	Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure within the Data Set.
hList	Handle to the list of images.
nIndex	Position of the first frame to get. Use zero-based indexing. For example, if there are 10 images in a list, the index of the last one is 9. To get
nCount	Number of frames to load into the image list.
nBitsPerPixel	Resulting image 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 resulting image
	12	12 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
	16	16 bits per pixel in the resulting image
	24	24 bits per pixel in the resulting image
	32	32 bits per pixel in the resulting image
uFlags	Flags which control the behavior of this function. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_LOAD_OVERLAYS	[0x0001] If set, the function will automatically extract the overlays included in the dataset and add them to the loaded image.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_APPLY_MODALITY_LUT	[0x0002] If set, the function will automatically apply the "Modality LUT" when loading the image.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_APPLY_VOI_LUT	[0x0004] If set, the function will automatically apply the "VOI LUT" when loading the image.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_ALLOW_RANGE_EXPANSION	[0x0008] (Deprecated, do not use) If set, the function will adjust the high bit and/or low bit (if possible) inside the image handle in order to hold the range of pixel values after applying the modality LUT.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_SCALE_MODALITY_LUT	[0x0010] If set, the function will scale the resulting pixel data to fit within the range of 0 to 2^BitsPerPixel-1 if any of the values would exceed that range.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_SCALE_VOI_LUT	[0x0020] Only used in conjuction with DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_SCALE_MODALITY_LUT. If set, the function will rescale the VOI LUT to match the rescale that was performed by DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTO_SCALE_MODALITY_LUT.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_AUTODETECT_INVALID_RLE_COMPRESSION	[0x0040] For RLE compressed, automatically detects if the MSB and LSB segments are written in the incorrect order.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_RLE_SWAP_SEGMENTS	[0x0080] Internal Use Only.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_LOADCORRUPTED	[0x0100] Allow loading of corrupt JPEG.
	DICOM_GETIMAGE_FROM_FLTLOAD	[0x8000] Internal Use Only.

Returns

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

Comments

If you need to use a callback function, use the L_DicomGetImageListEx function.

As an example, if you wish to load 50 images starting with the 50th frame in the Pixel Data, call this function with nIndex set to 49 (the 50th frame in a zero-based index) and nCount set to 50.

If pElement is NULL, you can retrieve a image list of all images within the Data Set. To do this you must call L_DicomGetCountImage with pElement set to NULL to determine the number of images in the Data Set and set the nCount parameter in L_DicomGetImageList to this value.

If DICOM_GETIMAGE_ALLOW_RANGE_EXPANSION is set in uFlags, consider the following example:

If the dataset has the following attributes:

Bits allocated	16
Bits stored	12
Pixel Range	0 - +4095
Pixel Representation is unsigned (0)
Photometric Interpretation is MONOCHROME2
Rescale Slope	1
Rescale Intercept	-1024

After applying the rescale slope and the intercept:

Output minimum pixel value = (0 * 1 +(-1024)) = -1024

Output maximum pixel value = (4095 * 1 + (-1024)) = 3071

The new pixel value range (1024 to 3071) cant be represented with the current bits stored (12 bits), which can represent values in the range (2048 to 2048). In this case the function will change the high bit inside the image handle to be 12 instead of 11 (bits stored becomes 13), which can represent values in the range (8192 to 8191).

Please note that the function wont be able to update the high bit and/or low bit if the number of bits stored was already equal to the number of bits allocated.

If the DICOM dataset has a Multi-frame Functional Groups module, some VOI LUT information will be read from the correspondingFrame VOI LUT Sequence, and some Modality LUT information will be read from the corresponding Pixel Value Transformation Sequence.

The specific elements that are read is 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

(0028,9145) Pixel Value Transformation Sequence child elements

Tag	Name
(0028,1052)	Rescale Intercept
(0028,1053)	Rescale Slope
(0028,1054)	Rescale Type

Example

This example fills a bitmap list with all images from the Data Set

#define MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(pFileName) TEXT("C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\LEADTOOLS Images\\")pFileName 
L_INT DicomGetImageListExample(L_VOID) 
{ 
   HDICOMDS    hDS; 
   HBITMAPLIST hList; 
   L_UINT16 nRet; 
   hDS = L_DicomCreateDS(NULL); 
   nRet = L_DicomLoadDS(hDS, MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("Image1.dcm")), 0); 
   if (nRet != DICOM_SUCCESS) 
   { 
      L_DicomFreeDS(hDS); 
      return nRet; 
   } 
   nRet = (L_UINT16) L_CreateBitmapList(&hList); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
   { 
      L_DicomFreeDS(hDS); 
      return nRet; 
   } 
   nRet = L_DicomGetImageList(hDS, NULL, hList, 0, ELEMENT_INDEX_MAX, 0, 0); 
   if (nRet != DICOM_SUCCESS) 
   { 
      L_DicomFreeDS(hDS); 
      return nRet; 
   } 
   nRet = (L_UINT16) L_DestroyBitmapList(hList); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
   { 
      L_DicomFreeDS(hDS); 
      return nRet; 
   } 
   L_DicomFreeDS(hDS); 
   return DICOM_SUCCESS;
