The QTPlgDicomAcquisition class defines data elements that convey informations about the equipment which produced the data stored into the dicom file.

Many data elements are defined by the Dicom Standard to be enclosed into this group and which of those elements are present into a given dicom file depends on the type of that file; some of them can be mandatory for a SOP Class optional for another and so on. The QTPlgDicomAcquisition class defines just a handful of data elements belonging to this group that could appear more frequently in dicom files.

For every other you should use the generic key ()–value () mechanism implemented by the class.

Since version 6.3 of the plugin this class can be used in Console Applications






The QTPlgDicomAcquisition class constructors are called when you create a new instance of the class, while the ˜QTPlgDicomAcquisition class destructor, is called automatically when the class is no more in use. Also, you can invoke the class destructor by setting the instance of the class to nil.
Once a new class instance is returned, it is good practice to check the class property to be sure that the new object can be used. See the validity requirements for more details.

The class provides you with the following initializer methods:
()
This is the default constructor. Use this constructor to create a new empty data set container in memory
(other as QTPlgDicomAcquisition)
This is the copy constructor. The properties of the object to be copied will be used to initialize the new class instance properties

specifies the manufacturer’s serial number of the equipment that produced the composite instances (data element (0018,1000) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
specifies the manufacturer’s designation of software version of the equipment that produced the composite instances (data element (0018,1020) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
specifies the inherent limiting resolution in mm of the acquisition equipment for high contrast objects for the data gathering and reconstruction technique chosen. If variable across the images of the series, the value at the image center (data element (0018,1050) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
specifies the date the Secondary Capture Image was captured (data element (0018,1012) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
specifies the time the Secondary Capture Image was captured (data element (0018,1014) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
specifies the date when the image acquisition device calibration was last changed in any way. Multiple entries may be used for additional calibrations at other times (data element (0018,1200) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
specifies the time when the image acquisition device calibration was last changed in any way. Multiple entries may be used. This property has no meaning unless is also specified (data element (0018,1201) of the Standard Dicom Dictionary)
