In This Topic

Instruct DicomObjects to ignore particular attributes

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Sub IgnoreAttribute( _
   ByVal Group As System.Integer, _
   ByVal Element As System.Integer _
)

public static void IgnoreAttribute( 
   System.int Group,
   System.int Element
)

Parameters

Group: The Group to ignore
Element: The Element to ignore

Remarks

This is a very specialist feature, intended only to be used when receiving or reading data from systems so bad that the data cannot be fixed after reading. It is most commonly used when receiving badly formatted sequences, but in that context can only be used when they use explicit length for the sequence as a whole, as it would otherwise not be possible to determine the location of the end of the sequence.

Example

int group = 0x0010;
int element = 0x0010;
DicomGlobal.IgnoreAttribute(group, element);
DicomImage image = new DicomImage("your_dicom_image.dcm"); // image will not contain patient name (0010,0010)

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET CLR 4.8 or higher
