'Usage
Dim instance As IDICOMObjectRetrieve
Dim studyInstanceUID As String
Dim seriesInstanceUID As String
Dim thumbnailWidth As Integer
Dim thumbnailHeight As Integer
Dim mimeType As String
Dim bitsPerPixel As Integer
Dim qualityFactor As Integer
Dim extraData As String
Dim value() As Byte
value = instance.GetSeriesImages(studyInstanceUID, seriesInstanceUID, thumbnailWidth, thumbnailHeight, mimeType, bitsPerPixel, qualityFactor, extraData)
Parameters
- studyInstanceUID
- A System.String representing the Study Instance UID to match the DICOM object.
- seriesInstanceUID
- A System.String representing the Series Instance UID to match the DICOM object.
- thumbnailWidth
-
The width, in pixels, of the image. The returned image might have different width to preserve scale ratio.
- thumbnailHeight
-
The Height, in pixels, of the image. The returned image might have different height to preserve scale ratio.
- mimeType
- A System.String representing the file format and compression of the image.
- bitsPerPixel
-
Resulting image's pixel depth. Note that not all bits per pixel are available to all image formats.
If bitsPerPixel is 0, the image will be stored using the original or closest bits/pixel value supported by that format.
- qualityFactor
-
The quality factor (Q factor) is a number that determines the degree of loss in the compression process. Use 0 for Lossless compression or you can set a value from 2 to 255, where 2 is the highest quality and 255 is the most compression.
- extraData
-
User custom data.
Return Value
A buffer containing a multi page RasterImage where each page is an image in the series.
