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. For details of the currently supported syntaxes, see the entry.

    Parameters

    Stream

    The Stream to which to write.

    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. For details of the currently supported syntaxes, see the entry.

    Quality

    The quality factor to be used.

    MetaHeader

    The customized MetaHeader (only Group 2 Elements)

    Behaviour

    Specific options to use when writing the data

    Remarks

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

    Quality is specific to the compression method being used, and is ignored for non-compressed or lossless JPEG transfer syntaxes. For Lossy JPEG, it is an integer in the range 1-100, the higher the number, the better the quality (and the larger the file), and for JPEG 2000 lossy, it is a compression ratio. Other compression methods may use this for other purposes in the future.

    The provided MetaHeader should only contain group 2 elements.

    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
