Returns

Comments

In addition to loading the DICOM Directory Data Set, the function also sets the destination folder to the folder in which the specified DICOMDIR File resides. Additional DICOM files in this folder (and subfolders) can be added to the loaded Directory.

If DS_LOAD_CLOSE is used, for large images, this may slow performance, however, the file handle will be released. If set to None, large images will load quickly, and image traverse can begin immediately. However, until the file handle is released, nothing can be done to the image.

If DS_LOAD_CLOSE is not specified, the file will remain open until one of the following functions is called: L_DicomDirReset, L_DicomDirLoadDS (again), L_DicomResetDS, L_DicomInitDS, or L_DicomLoadDS.

For more information, refer to the overridden function L_DicomLoadDS.
