L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 L_DicomSetWindow(hDS, uFrameIndex, uWindowIndex, pWindowAttributes, uFlags)
Sets the attributes that describe window center and window width.
A DICOM handle.
A zero-based index that identifies the frame number in the dataset. If the dataset does not support Multi-frames, this parameter is ignored.
Index to the window center , window width value to be updated. According to the DICOM standard if multiple values are present for the window center and window width, both attributes shall have the same number of values and shall be considered as pairs. This index is zero-based.
Pointer to a structure containing the window-related attributes to set.
Possible values are:
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
0 | Default |
[0x008] DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_OVERWRITE_SHARED | If set, existing Frame VOI LUT Sequence items under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence will be overwritten.. If this flag is not included, Shared Functional Groups Sequence elements are unchanged. |
[0x0010] DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_PER_FRAME | If the Frame VOI LUT Sequence does not already exist, it is added under the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence.If the Frame VOI LUT Sequence already exists under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence, this flag is ignored. |
[0x0020] DICOM_SETIMAGE_MFG_VOI_LUT_SHARED | If the Frame VOI LUT Sequence does not already exist, it is added under the Shared Functional Groups Sequence.If the Frame VOI LUT Sequence already exists under the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence, this flag is ignored. |
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
DICOM_SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
>0 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
This function will set the attributes that describe window center and window width.
Before calling this function, initialize pWindowAttributes->uStructSize to be sizeof (DICOMWINDOWATTRIBS) and initialize all the members of the structure.
If "Window Center" (0028,1050) does not already exist in the dataset this function will insert it and set its value to pWindowAttributes->fWindowCenter.
If "Window Width" (0028,1051) does not already exist in the dataset this function will insert it and set its value to pWindowAttributes->fWindowWidth.
The Multi-frame Functional Groups module may have a Shared Functional Groups Sequence item, and/or a Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence item. Either of these items may have a Frame VOI LUT Sequence (0028,9132) item. The uFlags parameter can be used to add or modify existing information in the Frame VOI LUT Sequence.
The following flags are used only if the Frame VOI LUT Sequence does not already exist.
In this case, the sequence is placed in the sequence indicated by the flag (Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence or Shared Functional Groups Sequence).
If a Frame VOI LUT Sequence already exists in a DICOM dataset, uFlags is ignored and the sequence is placed in the location where sequences already exist.
The specific elements that are read or updated when using these flags are shown below:
(0028,9132) Frame VOI LUT Sequence Child Elements
Tag | Name |
---|---|
(0028,1050) | Window Center |
(0028,1051) | Window Width |
(0028,1055) | Window Center & Width Explanation |
