L_DicomGetModalityLUTData

Summary

Retrieves "LUT Data" for a "Modality LUT Sequence".

Syntax

#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 L_DicomGetModalityLUTData(hDS, pLUTData, uDataSize, uFlags)

Parameters

HDICOMDS hDS

A DICOM handle.

L_UINT16 *pLUTData

Pointer to the buffer to be updated with the "LUT Data". You must allocate the buffer before calling this function, and the buffer must be large enough to hold the "LUT Data".

L_UINT uDataSize

Size of the buffer pointed to by pLUTData.

L_UINT uFlags

Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

Value	Meaning
DICOM_SUCCESS	The function was successful.
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will retrieve the "LUT Data" (0028,3006) under the "Modality LUT Sequence" (0028,3000).

Before calling this function you must call L_DicomGetModalityLUTAttributes and check the pModalityLUTAttributes->bIsModalityLUTSequence flag to see if a "Modality LUT Sequence" exists in the DICOM dataset or not. If the sequence exists, then you must allocate a buffer with a size greater or equal to pModalityLUTAttributes->LUTDescriptor.uNumberOfEntries and then call this function to retrieve the LUT data.
