DicomAssociate Class

Summary

Provides the main functionality for dealing with DICOM Associate connections.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

public class DicomAssociate : IDisposable

@interface LTDicomAssociate : NSObject

public ref class DicomAssociate : public System.IDisposable

Remarks

This class includes methods and properties for creating and modifying DICOM Associate objects. For more information, refer to Working with DICOM Associate Connections.

This class is available in the Medical toolkits.

Example

This is a comprehensive sample that shows how to use DICOM associates both on the SCP (server) and the SCU (client) sides.
