Level Property (DicomQuery)

In This Topic

Define the level of query or retrieve request within the DICOM search hierarchies.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property Level As QueryLevel

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DicomQuery
Dim value As QueryLevel
 
instance.Level = value
 
value = instance.Level

public QueryLevel Level {get; set;}

public:
property QueryLevel Level {
   QueryLevel get();
   void set (    QueryLevel value);
}

Remarks

DICOM defines three different hierarchies for image-related Query/Retrieve operations, each of which has different semantics and allowable search levels. The allowable combinations of QueryRoot and QueryLevel are:

Root

PATIENT

STUDY

PATIENTSTUDY

Permitted Levels

PATIENT

STUDY

SERIES

IMAGE

STUDY

SERIES

IMAGE

PATIENT

STUDY

In addition, to the above values, Root may be set to “WORKLIST” to indicate a Modality Worklist query, or “GP-WORKLIST” to indicate a General Purpose Worklist query, but if this is done, then a Find must be performed with a DicomDataSet parameter, as the parameters for the query DataSet are very different to those used for the other queries.

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
