DicomAssociate Constructor

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the DicomAssociate class.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

public DicomAssociate( 
   bool request 
)

- (nullable instancetype)initWithRequest:(BOOL)request error:(NSError **)error NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER;

public: 
DicomAssociate(  
   bool request 
)

Parameters

request
true to create an Associate Request; false to create an Associate Accept.

Remarks

A DICOM Association must be established between an SCU and an SCP before any DICOM messages or data can be transmitted between them. For more information on creating a DICOM Association, refer to Creating a DICOM Associate Connection. The characteristics of the DICOM Associate Connection may be set using Default or by using the following properties and methods:

ApplicationContextName

SetPresentationContextID

SetAsynchronousOperations

SetRoleSelect

ImplementationVersionName

SetUserInformation

SetExtendedData

When the DICOM Association is no longer needed, it should be closed. For more information, refer to Closing a DICOM Associate Connection.

Example

This is a comprehensive sample that shows how to use DICOM associates both on the SCP (server) and the SCU (client) sides.
