Loads a DICOM Data Set from memory.
#include "Ltdic.h"
L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 L_DicomLoadDSMemory(hDS, pBuffer, uBufferSize, nFlags);
A DICOM handle.
Pointer to the file in memory to be loaded.
Size of the file in memory (in bytes).
Meta-header flags, Transfer Syntax flags and other flags that indicate the file characteristics to use when loading the file. Any of the available Meta-header flags given below may be combined with any of the available values or combinations of values for the Transfer Syntax flags given below. For example, you may combine DS_METAHEADER_ABSENT with DS_EXPLICIT_VR, or you may combine DS_METAHEADER_PRESENT with DS_BIG_ENDIAN | DS_EXPLICIT_VR, etc. Possible values are:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Meta-header flags: | |
| 0 | [0x0000] LEADTOOLS will automatically determine the presence or absence of the Meta-header. |
| DS_METAHEADER_PRESENT | [0x0001] The header is present. |
| DS_METAHEADER_ABSENT | [0x0002] The header is absent. |
| Transfer Syntax flags: | |
| 0 | [0x0000] LEADTOOLS will automatically determine the Transfer Syntax. |
| DS_LITTLE_ENDIAN | [0x0004] Byte order is Little Endian. |
| DS_BIG_ENDIAN | [0x0008] Byte order is Big Endian. |
| DS_IMPLICIT_VR | [0x0010] The Value Representation is implicit. |
| DS_EXPLICIT_VR | [0x0020] The Value Representation is explicit. |
| DS_LOAD_CLOSE | [0x0200] The complete dataset will be loaded into memory and the file handle closed. |
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| DICOM_SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
| >0 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
You must call L_DicomCreateDS to allocate memory for the Data Set, prior to calling this function.
Unless you pass the DS_LOAD_CLOSE flag, this function DOES NOT make a copy of the memory pointed to by pBuffer. Therefore, DO NOT free this memory as long as you are using the dataset referenced by hDS, or until you have reset the dataset by calling L_DicomResetDS.
Once you have called L_DicomResetDS, you can repopulate the data set referenced by hDS by calling L_DicomInitDS, L_DicomLoadDS, or L_DicomLoadDSMemory. It is not necessary to call L_DicomCreateDS again before repopulating the data set.
If you know certain characteristics of the DICOM file in memory, you can set those in nFlags. Any characteristic that you do not set will be automatically determined. For example, if you know that the metaheader is present, but you do not know the byte order, or whether the Value Representation is implicit or explicit, you can set only DS_METAHEADER_PRESENT in nFlags. During loading LEADTOOLS will determine the byte order and whether the byte order is implicit or explicit.
If you do not know any of the characteristics of the DICOM file in memory, set nFlags to 0 and LEADTOOLS will automatically determine all the file characteristics and load the file accordingly.
To load a data set from a file, call L_DicomLoadDS.
