Write(Byte[],String) Method

In This Topic

Writes dataset to a byte array with specified transfer syntax

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

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

public void Write( 
   out System.byte[] Array,
   System.string TransferSyntax
)

Parameters

Array: The byte array to write dataset to
TransferSyntax: Specifies the full UID of the transfer syntax with which the file is to be saved when Part 10 format is used. If omitted, the little-endian explicit VR transfer syntax is used.

Remarks

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

Example

DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet();
byte[] data;
string transferSyntax = TransferSyntaxes.JPEG2000Lossy;
                    
string pixelTransferSyntax = 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(pixelTransferSyntax, getData);             
                    
ds.Write(out data, transferSyntax);
                    
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);
}

Requirements
