DicomUid Class

Summary

The DicomUid class contains information about Unique Identifiers.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

public class DicomUid

@interface LTDicomUid : NSObject

public class DicomUid

public ref class DicomUid

Remarks

Internally LEADTOOLS maintains a table or list of available unique identifiers. These values can include default values for standard unique identifiers available in DICOM, as well as user defined unique identifiers. You can access any of this information, add to the table, or delete items from the table using the methods of the DicomUidTable class.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom; 
 
 
public void TestUIDTable() 
{ 
 
   //Make sure to initialize the DICOM engine, this needs to be done only once  
   //In the whole application 
   DicomEngine.Startup(); 
 
   //We don't need to call this since the DicomEngine.Startup already does that for us 
   //These calls are for demonstration purposes only 
   DicomUidTable.Instance.Reset(); 
   DicomUidTable.Instance.Default(); 
 
   //We can also call FindByIndex if we know the index of this UID 
   DicomUid uid = DicomUidTable.Instance.Find(DicomUidType.SCImageStorage); 
   DicomUidTable.Instance.Delete(uid); 
 
   DicomUid uid1 = DicomUidTable.Instance.Insert(DicomUidType.SCImageStorage, "Secondary Capture Image Storage", DicomUIDCategory.Class); 
   Debug.Assert(DicomUidTable.Instance.Exists(uid1) == true); 
   DicomUidTable.Instance.SetName(uid1, "Secondary Capture Image Storage 1"); 
 
   int count = 0; 
   //If we want to loop through all the UIDs in the table we can do this: 
   uid = DicomUidTable.Instance.GetFirst(); 
   while (uid != null) 
   { 
      // We can also access the rest of the properties of DicomUid in here, 
      // such as DicomUid.Code, DicomUid.Name, DicomUid.Type 
 
      if (uid.Code == DicomUidType.SCImageStorage) 
      { 
         Console.WriteLine(uid.Name); 
      } 
      count++; 
      uid = DicomUidTable.Instance.GetNext(uid); 
   } 
   //We can use GetLast and GetPrevious to achieve the same thing 
 
   Debug.Assert(count == DicomUidTable.Instance.GetCount()); 
 
   DicomEngine.Shutdown(); 
}
