LoadJson(DicomDataSet,Stream,DicomDataSetLoadJsonFlags,LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback,LoadJsonAfterElementCallback) Method

Summary

Loads a stream containing a DICOM-encoded JSON file.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public static void LoadJson( 
   this DicomDataSet ds, 
   Stream stream, 
   DicomDataSetLoadJsonFlags jsonFlags, 
   LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback cbBefore, 
   LoadJsonAfterElementCallback cbAfter 
)

[ExtensionAttribute()] 
public: 
static void LoadJson(  
   DicomDataSet^ ds, 
   Stream^ stream, 
   DicomDataSetLoadJsonFlags jsonFlags, 
   LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback^ cbBefore, 
   LoadJsonAfterElementCallback^ cbAfter 
)

Parameters

ds
The Data Set that will be created and populated with the contents of the DICOM JSON input file.

stream
The name of the input JSON file.

jsonFlags
Flags that affect whether to ignore binary or all data from the DICOM JSON input file.

cbBefore
Optional callback that allows you to modify how the input JSON file elements and values are used.

cbAfter
Optional callback that allows you to change the DicomElement after it has been added to the DicomDataSet.

Remarks

Use this method to read the contents of a DICOM JSON file. The DICOM JSON file can be created using SaveJson By default, all binary data is read from the DICOM input JSON file, but this behavior can be modified by passing appropriate DicomDataSetLoadJsonFlags

The way that this method processes the input JSON file elements and element values can be customized by passing the optional LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback delegate. For more information on this, see the documentation and example for LoadJsonBeforeElementCallback. The DicomElement themselves can be modified after they have been added to the DicomDataSet by passing the optional LoadJsonAfterElementCallback delegate. For more information on this, see the documentation and example for LoadJsonAfterElementCallback.

Example

This example loads a sample DICOM data set, saves it as JSON to a memory stream (with no binary data), displays the memory stream, reloads the JSON stream into a DicomDataSet object, and saves the DicomDataSet object as a DICOM file

   string dicomFileNameOut = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "test.dcm"); 
 
   // Initialize DICOM engine 
   DicomEngine.Startup(); 
 
   DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet(); 
 
   // Load an existing DICOM file 
   ds.Load(dicomFileNameIn, DicomDataSetLoadFlags.None); 
 
   // Save as JSON to a stream with no binary data 
   // For the demo, keep the json output file size small by skipping the pixel data 
   const DicomDataSetSaveJsonFlags jsonFlags = DicomDataSetSaveJsonFlags.IgnoreBinaryData | DicomDataSetSaveJsonFlags.None | DicomDataSetSaveJsonFlags.TrimWhiteSpace; 
 
   Stream stream = new MemoryStream(); 
   ds.SaveJson(stream, jsonFlags); 
 
   // Display contents of stream 
   stream.Flush(); 
   stream.Position = 0; 
   StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream); 
   string jsonString = sr.ReadToEnd(); 
   Console.WriteLine(jsonString, "json version of " + dicomFileNameIn); 
 
   // Now reload the json file from the stream.   
   // Note that there will not be an image because we skipped the pixel data in the save 
   stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); 
   //stream.Position = 0; 
   ds.LoadJson(stream, DicomDataSetLoadJsonFlags.None); 
 
   ds.Save(dicomFileNameOut, DicomDataSetSaveFlags.None); 
 
   DicomEngine.Shutdown();
