FunctionalGroupDataSet(Keyword,Int32) Method

In This Topic

Locate the required functional group within a DicomDataSet

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function FunctionalGroupDataSet( _
   ByVal Macro As Keyword, _
   ByVal Frame As Integer _
) As DicomDataSet

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DicomDataSet
Dim Macro As Keyword
Dim Frame As Integer
Dim value As DicomDataSet
 
value = instance.FunctionalGroupDataSet(Macro, Frame)

public DicomDataSet FunctionalGroupDataSet( 
   Keyword Macro,
   int Frame
)

public:
DicomDataSet^ FunctionalGroupDataSet( 
   Keyword Macro,
   int Frame
)

Parameters

Macro: The Keyword descriptor of the requested dataset
Frame: The frame number to which the dataset should apply

Return Value

The requested dataset

Remarks

The enhanced DICOM multi-frame objects (e.g. enhanced CT and MRI) allow many attributes to be held in functional group macros, which may be either:

The same for all frames - in the "Shared Functional Groups Sequence" (5200,9229)
Different for different frames - in the "Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence" (5200,9230)

This method allows the designated dataset to be located, irrespective of which sequence it is in. Note that the Keyword used to identify the functional group is independent of the Keyword of individual attributes within that DataSet.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
