MakeEnhancedMultiFrame Method

In This Topic

Creates a single enhanced multi-frame object from a collection of individual images.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Function MakeEnhancedMultiFrame( _
   ByVal Remove As System.Boolean _
) As DicomImage

public DicomImage MakeEnhancedMultiFrame( 
   System.bool Remove
)

Parameters

Remove: True if the images should be removed from the collection after this function call.

Return Value

The new DicomImage

Remarks

Constructs a single enhanced multi-frame image from a series of identically-sized single frame images, which have been collected into a DicomImageCollection. If the argument is true, the images are removed from the collection as they are added to the new object. Unlike MakeMultiFrame, data is taken from all frames, and incorporated into the Common or PerFrame functional groups, not from the first image only.

Note that the newly created multi-frame image may need some modifications, as DicomObjects has no knowledge of many attributes which only exist in enhanced images but it does do much of the hard work

If you find any attributes which you feel should be moved to functional groups but which are not, then please contact support@medicalconnections.co.uk

Example

DicomImageCollection imageCollection = new DicomImageCollection();
 DicomImage finalMFImage = new DicomImage();
  
 DicomImage image1 = new DicomImage("your_dicom_image1.dcm");
 DicomImage image2 = new DicomImage("your_dicom_image2.dcm");
 DicomImage image3 = new DicomImage("your_dicom_image3.dcm");
  
 imageCollection.Add(image1);
 imageCollection.Add(image2);
 imageCollection.Add(image3);
  
 bool removeFromCollection = false;
 finalMFImage = imageCollection.MakeEnhancedMultiFrame(removeFromCollection);
  
// Optionally write resulting multiframe image to disk
finalMFImage.Write("output_image.dcm");

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET CLR 4.8 or higher
