The QTPlgDicomDocument class is a specialization of the that implements properties and methods useful to deal with dicom media format that consist only of a File Meta Information ( ) and a properly formatted Data Set ( a series of objects).
Since version 6.3 of the plugin this class can be used in Console Applications
→ →
The QTPlgDicomDocument class constructors are called when you create a new instance of the class, while the ˜QTPlgDicomDocument 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 it to create an empty container in memory; the class automatically allocates a
default object
(other as QTPlgDicomDocument)
This is the copy constructor. The properties of the object to be copied will be used to initialize the
new class instance properties
(src as folderitem)
use this constructor version to load in memory the data structure stored into the Dicom File specified
by the src parameter. If you try to load a DICOMDIR file, the initialization fails
and the object
specifies if the document contain some type of playable data. If this property is set to true, you can use
the class property to retrieve an
appropriate presentation context for such a data. Actually the QTPlugin provides support for pixel data only, but, in future,
the plugin capabilities can be extended to accomodate the presentation of other types of data
specifies the informations about the study associated to the data
specifies the informations relevant to identifying and generally describing a patient
specifies the informations about the equipment which produced the data stored into the dicom file
specifies the informations that identify and describe the image, if any
specifies the informations that describe the pixel data of the image, if any
specifies set of elements other than those built–in in this class
using instances of the class is not
allowed
returns detailed informations about the location of the data samples stored within the DICOM document in use
