Parameters

stream

format

The type of import operation to perform

Like the Paste method, this method modifies only the minimum number of attributes necessary to ensure consistency of the image. In order to produce a valid DICOM SOP instance, many other attributes (depending on the SOP class) must be added.

All formats which are supported via Bitmap overloads (or including JPEG 2000) are supported.

The following applies to JPEG file import:

• The JPEG data is imported directly, and may either be stored or transmitted unchanged as a JPEG encapsulated SOP instance (1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.50), or automatically decompressed if necessary.
• The Type parameter must be JPEG or JPG

The following applies to JPEG 2000 file import:

• The import format must be "J2K", "JPC" or "JP2"
• The JPEG 2000 data is imported directly, and may either be stored or transmitted unchanged as a JPEG 2000 encapsulated SOP instance (1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90 or .91), or automatically decompressed if necessary.
• The Type parameter must be J2K, JPC or JP2.
• For JP2, the header is stripped

The following applies to AVI file import:

• The Type parameter must be AVI.
• A multi-frame DICOM image is generated.

See for details of how to write and configure your own codecs.

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
