Example

This example will initialize a new DICOM data set with only mandatory modules and elements

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom; 
 
 
///  
void DicomDataSet_InitializeExample() 
{ 
   DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet(); 
   DicomDataSetInitializeFlags flags = 
      DicomDataSetInitializeFlags.ExplicitVR | 
      DicomDataSetInitializeFlags.LittleEndian | 
      DicomDataSetInitializeFlags.AddMandatoryElementsOnly | 
      DicomDataSetInitializeFlags.AddMandatoryModulesOnly 
      ; 
   ds.Initialize(DicomClassType.CTImageStorage, flags); 
   ds.Save(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Test.dcm"), DicomDataSetSaveFlags.None); 
} 
 
static class LEAD_VARS 
{ 
   public const string ImagesDir = @"C:\LEADTOOLS21\Resources\Images"; 
}
