Member Function Documentation

◆ allNormalTagNames

QStringList MLABDicom::allNormalTagNames ( )
slot

Get a list of all normal (non-repeating) DICOM tag names.

◆ createDicomTree

MLABMutableDicomTree* MLABDicom::createDicomTree ( )
slot

Create empty tree.

◆ createDicomUid

QString MLABDicom::createDicomUid ( )
slot

Returns a unique dicom uid with MeVis prefix and software type MeVisLab.

The method uses the DCMTree_Utils::UIDGenerator and offers a globally unique id using the process id, the time stamp and the mac address.

◆ loadDicomTree

MLABMutableDicomTree* MLABDicom::loadDicomTree ( const QString &  filename,
LoadDicomTreeOptions  options = DicomNoOptions 
)
slot

Loads a DICOM file and returns it as a tree object.

The tree is freed again when the last reference to it is removed.

With the options parameter you can specify what tags should be read:

  • DicomReadPixelData - read tags containing pixel data
  • DicomReadPrivateTags - read private tags

The values must be or'ed together.

◆ tagInfo [1/3]

QVariantMap MLABDicom::tagInfo ( const QString &  name)
slot

Returns a map with information about the DICOM tag.

The name can be a name or a string of the form "(xxxx,yyyy)" where xxxx is the group id and yyyy is the element id. See tagInfo(quint32) for details.

◆ tagInfo [2/3]

QVariantMap MLABDicom::tagInfo ( quint16  group,
quint16  element 
)
slot

Returns a map with information about the DICOM tag.

see tagInfo(quint32) for details.

◆ tagInfo [3/3]

QVariantMap MLABDicom::tagInfo ( quint32  tag)
slot

Returns a map with information about the DICOM tag.

If the tag is not known, an empty map is returned. The returned map contains the following information:

  • "name" the name of the DICOM tag
  • "id" the tag id as string in the form (xxxx,yyyy)
  • "elementId" the uint16 element id value
  • "groupId" the uint16 element id value
  • "vr" the value representation
  • "multiplicity" the multiplicity (as list of (min, max) values)
