L_DicomGetPaletteColorLUTData

Summary

Retrieves red, green or blue "Palette Color Lookup Table Data".

Syntax

L_LTDIC_API L_UINT16 L_DicomGetPaletteColorLUTData(hDS, pLUTData, uDataSize, PaletteColorLUTType, uFlags)

Parameters

HDICOMDS hDS

A DICOM handle.

L_UINT16 * pLUTData

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

L_UINT uDataSize

Size of the buffer pointed to by pLUTData.

DICOMPALETTECOLORLUTTYPE PaletteColorLUTType

Type of palette color lookup table to data to get. Possible values are:

L_UINT uFlags

Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

Comments

This function will retrieve the data for the "Red", "Green" or "Blue" "Palette Color Lookup Table".

If the data is segmented, then this function will decode the data before coping it to the buffer pointed to by pLUTData.

Before calling this function you must call L_DicomGetPaletteColorLUTAttributes to see if a "Palette Color Lookup Table" exists in the DICOM dataset. If you are trying to retrieve the "Red Palette Color Lookup Table Data" you must allocate a buffer with a size greater or equal to pPaletteColorLUTAttributes->RedLUTDescriptor.uNumberOfEntries, where pPaletteColorLUTAttributes is the "Palette Color Lookup Table" attributes" structure returned by the L_DicomGetPaletteColorLUTAttributes function. If you are trying to retrieve the "Green Palette Color Lookup Table Data" you must allocate a buffer with a size greater or equal to pPaletteColorLUTAttributes->GreenLUTDescriptor.uNumberOfEntries. And, if you are trying to retrieve the "Blue Palette Color Lookup Table Data" you must allocate a buffer with a size greater or equal to pPaletteColorLUTAttributes->BlueLUTDescriptor.uNumberOfEntries.

Example

This example will retrieve the data under "Red Palette Color Lookup Table Data"(0028,1201)
element and if the data is segmented it will get the data under "Segmented Red Palette Color Lookup Table Data" (0028,1221) and decode it.
