Write(Byte[],Boolean) Method

In This Topic

Writes dataset to a byte array

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub Write( _
   ByRef Array() As System.Byte, _
   ByVal isPart10 As System.Boolean _
)

public void Write( 
   out System.byte[] Array,
   System.bool isPart10
)

Parameters

Array

The byte array to write dataset to

isPart10

If TRUE, a blank 128 byte header, DICM marker, and meta-header are written at the start of the file, and an appropriate transfer syntax is used, as below.

If FALSE, the file is written in the unofficial, but common format, with no header, and using the little-endian implicit VR transfer syntax.

Remarks

Data may subsequently be read by the Read methods or by other DICOM software.

Example

DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet();
byte[] data;
bool isPart10 = true;
                    
string transferSyntax = TransferSyntaxes.ExplicitVRLittleEndian;
ds.Add(Keyword.SamplesPerPixel, 1);
ds.Add(Keyword.PhotometricInterpretation, "MONOCHROME2");
ds.Add(Keyword.Rows, 512);
ds.Add(Keyword.Columns, 512);
ds.Add(Keyword.PixelSpacing, new float[] { 0.684f, 0.684f });
ds.Add(Keyword.BitsAllocated, 16);
ds.Add(Keyword.BitsStored, 12);
ds.Add(Keyword.HighBit, 11);
ds.Add(Keyword.PixelRepresentation, 0);
ds.Add(Keyword.WindowCenter, new int[] { 35, 50 });
ds.Add(Keyword.WindowWidth, new int[] { 350, 150 });
ds.Add(Keyword.RescaleIntercept, -1200);
ds.Add(Keyword.RescaleSlope, 1);
ds.SetPixelData(transferSyntax, getData);   
                    
ds.Write(out data, isPart10);
                    
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("Output_Dataset".dcm", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
    fs.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
}
                    
// Method
private Stream getData(int arg)
{
    return new FileStream("pixel.data", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
}
