L_DicomSetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 EXT_FUNCTION L_DicomSetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory(hDS, pElement, bChild, pBuffer, uBufferSize, pEncapsulatedDocument, pConceptNameCodeSequence)

Inserts an encapsulated document and corresponding DICOM elements into a DICOM data set.  This feature is available in version 17.5 or higher.

Parameters

HDICOMDS hDS

A DICOM handle.

pDICOMELEMENT pElement

Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure that contains an item in the Data Set. The inserted item will be inserted as a neighbor to this item, or as a child, depending on the value of bChild.

L_BOOL bChild

Flag that indicates where to insert the item. Possible values are:

L_UCHAR *pBuffer

Address of the memory buffer that contains the source encapsulated document (PDF or CDA) which will be inserted into the DICOM dataset.

L_UINT32 uBufferSize

Size of the memory buffer (in bytes).

pDICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT pEncapsulatedDocument

Pointer to a DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure, which is filled with the encapsulated document module attributes. This member must NOT be NULL.

pDICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM pConceptNameCodeSequence

Pointer to a DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM structure, which is filled with the Concept Name Code Sequence attributes. This member can be NULL.

Returns

Comments

The members of the DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure and the DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM structure together represent the set of attributes contained in the "Encapsulated Document Module Attributes". The Encapsulated Information Object Definition (IOD) describes either a

• PDF document

• CDA document

that has been encapsulated within a DICOM information object.

For more information, refer to Part 3 of the DICOM standard.

The DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure corresponds to the Encapsulated Document Module Attributes described in part 3 of the DICOM specification. To include the Concept Name Code Sequence element (0040,A043) pass a pointer to a pConceptNameCodeSequence item.

The pszFileDocument argument points to a file that contains the document that you want to encapsulate. This should be either a PDF or a CDA document, and the uType member of the DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT structure should be set accordingly.

Before calling this function:

1. Initialize pEncapsulatedDocument ->uStructSize to be sizeof(DICOMENCAPSULATEDDOCUMENT) and initialize the structure members. Any of the members of the structure that are pointers can be NULL. NULL members will be ignored and the corresponding elements will not be inserted into the DICOM data set

2. If pConceptNameCodeSequence is not NULL, initialize pConceptNameCodeSequence ->uStructSize to be sizeof(DICOMCODESEQUENCEITEM) and initialize all structure members. Any of the members of the structure that are pointers can be NULL. NULL members will be ignored and the corresponding elements will not be inserted into the DICOM data set

The L_DicomSetEncapsulatedDocumentMemory function takes a pointer to a buffer (and a length) as the source for the encapsulated document.
