Detailed Description

this class implements a sequence of pixel items, i.e.

the data structure DICOM is using to store compressed pixel data. The object behaves very much like a sequence, but uses the pixel data tag (7FE0,0010) and OB value representation with undefined length, and the "items" contained within the sequence are in fact pixel items (class DcmPixelItem) that contain no list of DICOM elements but raw compressed pixel data. The first item in this pixel sequence must always be the offset table.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DcmPixelSequence() [1/3]

DcmPixelSequence::DcmPixelSequence ( const DcmTag & tag )

constructor.

Create new element from given tag.

Parameters

tag	attribute tag

◆ DcmPixelSequence() [2/3]

DcmPixelSequence::DcmPixelSequence ( const DcmPixelSequence & old )

copy constructor

Parameters

old	element to be copied

◆ DcmPixelSequence() [3/3]

DcmPixelSequence::DcmPixelSequence	(	const DcmTag &	tag,
		const Uint32	len
	)

protected

constructor.

Create new element from given tag and length. Only reachable from friend classes since construction with length different from 0 leads to a state with length being set but the element's value still being uninitialized. This can lead to crashes when the value is read or written. Thus the method calling this constructor with length > 0 must ensure that the element's value is explicitly initialized, too.

Parameters

tag	attribute tag
len	length of the attribute value

Member Function Documentation

◆ calcElementLength()

virtual Uint32 DcmPixelSequence::calcElementLength	(	const E_TransferSyntax	xfer,
		const E_EncodingType	enctype
	)

virtual

calculate the length of this DICOM element when encoded with the given transfer syntax and the given encoding type for sequences.

For elements, the length includes the length of the tag, length field, VR field and the value itself, for items and sequences it returns the length of the complete item or sequence including delimitation tags if applicable.

Warning: Since calcElementLength() returns a 32 bit integer, an overflow during calculation is possible for some derived classes that actually represent a compound value (e.g. items like DcmPixelItem). Such overflows will be detected, in which case the maximum possible value will be returned instead, coinciding with DCM_UndefinedLength.; The implementation in DcmPixelData may return zero if no conforming representation exists and set the EC_RepresentationNotFound error flag to indicated it.; When calculation the length of a sequence or an item containing multiple attributes, the implementation may return DCM_UndefinedLength to indicate a value that can not be encoded as a 32 bit length field. It will even do so if "dcmWriteOversizedSeqsAndItemsUndefined" is disabled, but then also set the EC_SeqOrItemContentOverflow error flag (inside getLength()) to indicated it.

Note: Just check for zero or DCM_UndefinedLength return value and then have a look at the error flag in either case.

Parameters

xfer	transfer syntax for length calculation
enctype	sequence encoding type for length calculation

Returns: length of DICOM element

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ canWriteXfer()

virtual OFBool DcmPixelSequence::canWriteXfer	(	const E_TransferSyntax	newXfer,
		const E_TransferSyntax	oldXfer
	)

virtual

check if this DICOM object can be encoded in the given transfer syntax.

Parameters

newXfer	transfer syntax in which the DICOM object is to be encoded
oldXfer	transfer syntax in which the DICOM object was read or created.

Returns: true if object can be encoded in desired transfer syntax, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ changeXfer()

OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::changeXfer ( const E_TransferSyntax newXfer )

changes the transfer syntax of this object to the given one.

This only works if no transfer syntax was defined so far, or if the new and the old one are identical.

Parameters

newXfer

Returns: status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

◆ clone()

virtual DcmObject * DcmPixelSequence::clone ( ) const

inlinevirtual

clone method

Returns: deep copy of this object

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ copyFrom()

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::copyFrom ( const DcmObject & rhs )

virtual

Virtual object copying.

This method can be used for DcmObject and derived classes to get a deep copy of an object. Internally the assignment operator is called if the given DcmObject parameter is of the same type as "this" object instance. If not, an error is returned. This function permits copying an object by value in a virtual way which therefore is different to just calling the assignment operator of DcmElement which could result in slicing the object.

Parameters

rhs	- [in] The instance to copy from. Has to be of the same class type as "this" object

Returns: EC_Normal if copying was successful, error otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ getItem()

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::getItem	(	DcmPixelItem *&	item,
		const unsigned long	num
	)

virtual

access a pixel item from the pixel sequence.

This method returns a pointer to one of the pixel items in the list, and not a copy.

Parameters

item	upon success, a pointer to the selected pixel item is returned in this parameter
num	index number of pixel item, must be < card()

Returns: pointer to item if found, NULL if num >= card()

◆ ident()

virtual DcmEVR DcmPixelSequence::ident ( void ) const

inlinevirtual

get type identifier

Returns: type identifier of this class (EVR_item)

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

References EVR_pixelSQ.

◆ insert()

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::insert	(	DcmPixelItem *	item,
		unsigned long	where = `DCM_EndOfListIndex`
	)

virtual

insert the given pixel item at the given position within the list maintained by this object.

Ownership of the pixel item, which must be allocated on the heap, is transferred to the pixel sequence.

Parameters

item	pointer to DcmPixelItem instance allocated on the heap, must not be NULL.
where	position at which the new item is to be inserted.

Returns: EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

◆ makeSubObject()

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::makeSubObject	(	DcmObject *&	newObject,
		const DcmTag &	newTag,
		const Uint32	newLength
	)

protectedvirtual

helper function for read().

Create sub-object (pixel item) of the appropriate type depending on the tag.

Parameters

newObject	upon success, a pointer to the newly created object is returned in this parameter
newTag	tag of the sub-object to be created
newLength	length of the sub-object to be created

Returns: status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ operator=()

DcmPixelSequence & DcmPixelSequence::operator= ( const DcmPixelSequence & obj )

copy assignment operator

Parameters

obj	element to be copied

Returns: reference to this object

◆ print()

virtual void DcmPixelSequence::print	(	STD_NAMESPACE ostream &	out,
		const size_t	flags = `0`,
		const int	level = `0`,
		const char *	pixelFileName = `NULL`,
		size_t *	pixelCounter = `NULL`
	)

virtual

print all elements of the item to a stream

Parameters

out	output stream
flags	optional flag used to customize the output (see DCMTypes::PF_xxx)
level	current level of nested items. Used for indentation.
pixelFileName	optional filename used to write the raw pixel data file
pixelCounter	optional counter used for automatic pixel data filename creation

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ read()

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::read	(	DcmInputStream &	inStream,
		const E_TransferSyntax	ixfer,
		const E_GrpLenEncoding	glenc = `EGL_noChange`,
		const Uint32	maxReadLength = `DCM_MaxReadLength`
	)

virtual

This function reads the information of all attributes which are captured in the input stream and captures this information in elementList.

Each attribute is represented as an element in this list. If not all information for an attribute could be read from the stream, the function returns EC_StreamNotifyClient.

Parameters

inStream	The stream which contains the information.
ixfer	The transfer syntax which was used to encode the information in inStream.
glenc	Encoding type for group length; specifies what will be done with group length tags.
maxReadLength	Maximum read length for reading an attribute value.

Returns: status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

Reimplemented from DcmSequenceOfItems.

◆ remove() [1/2]

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::remove	(	DcmPixelItem *&	item,
		const unsigned long	num
	)

virtual

remove pixel item from list.

If found, the pixel item is not deleted but returned to the caller who is responsible for further management of the DcmPixelItem object.

Parameters

item	upon success, a pointer to the removed pixel item is returned in this parameter
num	index number of item, must be < card()

Returns: EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

◆ remove() [2/2]

virtual OFCondition DcmPixelSequence::remove ( DcmPixelItem * item )

		Uint32	fragmentSize
	)

virtual

appends a single compressed frame to this DICOM pixel sequence

Parameters

offsetList	list containing offset table entries. Upon success, an entry is appended to the list. The offset values are always even, so it is expected that odd length pixel items are padded later during writing. The offsets are not stored internally.
compressedData	pointer to compressed image data (copied), must not be NULL
compressedLen	number of bytes of compressed image data
fragmentSize	maximum fragment size (in kbytes) for compression, 0 for unlimited.
