Syntax

C++

public virtual DataSet MinimumQueryCompositeInstances( 
   MatchingParameterCollection matchingEntitiesCollection 
)

Public Overridable Function MinimumQueryCompositeInstances( 
   ByVal matchingEntitiesCollection As MatchingParameterCollection 
) As DataSet

public:  
   virtual DataSet^ MinimumQueryCompositeInstances( 
      MatchingParameterCollection^ matchingEntitiesCollection 
   )

Parameters

matchingEntitiesCollection

A MatchingParameterCollection which includes the matching parameters for the query.

Return Value

The System.Data.DataSet which contains the composite instance information that matches the query parameters.

Remarks

The MatchingParameterCollection can be from any level and they are not limited to the Composite instance level. Which means you can query for Composite instance using the Patient ID in the patient level or study Instance UID in the study level.

This method will include all the information for the patient, study and series and Composite instance levels.

The following tables in the CompositeInstanceDataSet will contain the Composite instance information: Instance, ImageInstance and ReferencedImages.

This function execludes some tables from the query results, which will make the query execute much faster.
