AddPixelData Method

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Sub AddPixelData( _
   ByVal Data As System.Object, _
   ByVal TransferSyntax As System.String _
)

public void AddPixelData( 
   System.object Data,
   System.string TransferSyntax
)

Parameters

Data: The Byte Array to be added to the Pixel Attribute (7FE0, 0010) of the DataSet
TransferSyntax: Specifies the UID of the transfer syntax in which the data is coded. If omitted, the little-endian explicit VR transfer syntax is used.

This method overwrites the pixel data (if present) in the DicomDataSet object.

C#

DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet();
                    
//  add all relevant group 28 attributes to image to tell DicomObjects how to display
ds.Add(Keyword.SamplesPerPixel, 1);
ds.Add(Keyword.Rows, 512);
ds.Add(Keyword.Columns, 512);
ds.Add(Keyword.PixelSpacing, new float[] { 0.684f, 0.684f });
ds.Add(Keyword.BitsAllocated, 8);
ds.Add(Keyword.BitsStored, 8);
ds.Add(Keyword.HighBit, 7); 
ds.Add(Keyword.PixelRepresentation, 0); // PixelRepresentation 0=unsigned,1=signed
                    
if (Convert.ToInt16(ds[Keyword.SamplesPerPixel].Value) == 1)
{
    ds.Add(Keyword.PhotometricInterpretation, "MONOCHROME2"); 
}
else if (Convert.ToInt16(ds[Keyword.SamplesPerPixel].Value) == 3)
{
    ds.Add(Keyword.PhotometricInterpretation, "RGB");
    ds.Add(Keyword.PlanarConfiguration, 0);
}
                    
ds.Add(Keyword.WindowCenter, new int[] { 35, 50 });
ds.Add(Keyword.WindowWidth, new int[] { 350, 150 });
                    
byte[] pixelBytes = File.ReadAllBytes("RawPixelData.raw");
string ExplicitVRLittleEndian = "1.2.840.10008.1.2.1";
ds.AddPixelData(pixelBytes, ExplicitVRLittleEndian);
 
(Optionally) write it to file
ds.Write(@"path\to\save\location\dataset.dcm");

Target Platforms: .NET CLR 4.8 or higher
