Detailed Description

Write DICOM image files.

This class writes a series of one or more DICOM files. The default behavior is to write a series of Secondary Capture files with no modality-specific information. To write other kinds of DICOM files, use the SetGenerator() method to supply a generator for the type of data set that you wish to write. Currently, there are generators for MR and CT data sets.

Member Function Documentation

IsA()

virtual vtkTypeBool vtkDICOMWriter::IsA ( const char *  name )

virtual

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

RequestData()

int vtkDICOMWriter::RequestData ( vtkInformation *  request, vtkInformationVector **  inputVector, vtkInformationVector *  outputVector  )

protectedvirtual

This is called in response to a REQUEST_DATA request from the executive. Subclasses should override either this method or the ExecuteDataWithInformation method in order to generate data for their outputs. For images, the output arrays will already be allocated, so all that is necessary is to fill in the voxel values.

Reimplemented from vtkImageWriter.

SetFileSliceOrder()

void vtkDICOMWriter::SetFileSliceOrder

(

int

order

)

Set the slice ordering of the files to be written.

The default is RHR (right-hand-rule), which means that if your right thumb points along an image row, and your index finger points down a row (starting at the top left of the image), then a bent middle finger points in the direction of increasing slice index. LHR is the reverse of this. Same keeps files in the same order as VTK slices.

SetGenerator()

void vtkDICOMWriter::SetGenerator

(

vtkDICOMGenerator *

)

Set the generator for image modality you wish to write.

The generator combines the image information from VTK with the supplied MetaData to create the DICOM data series that will be written to disk. The default generator will write a Secondary Capture series, rather than a series belonging to a specific imaging modality.

SetImageType()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetImageType ( const char *  )

virtual

Set the image type, using a series of DICOM code strings.

This must follow the DICOM standard, an error will be generated if it doesn't. The default value is DERIVED/SECONDARY/OTHER, where the forward-slashes will be replaced by backslashes when the attribute is written. Set this to NULL if you wish to use the original ImageType.

SetMemoryRowOrder()

void vtkDICOMWriter::SetMemoryRowOrder

(

int

order

)

Set the ordering of the image rows in memory.

If the order is BottomUp (which is the default) then the images will be flipped when they are read from disk. The native orientation of DICOM images is top-to-bottom.

SetMetaData()

void vtkDICOMWriter::SetMetaData

(

vtkDICOMMetaData *

)

Set the meta data to include with the file.

The supplied meta data is only used as a hint, the writer will override attributes that aren't valid for the image.

SetPatientMatrix()

void vtkDICOMWriter::SetPatientMatrix

(

vtkMatrix4x4 *

)

Set the matrix that places the image in DICOM patient coords.

The 3x3 portion of the matrix must be orthonormal, and the last column of the matrix is understood to be in millimetres.

SetRescaleIntercept()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetRescaleIntercept ( double  )

virtual

Set the parameters to rescale integer pixel values into real values.

These parameters are the intercept and slope int the equation v = m*x + b that converts the stored pixel values to real units such as Hounsfield units. Most modalities (including MR) ignore these values, while certain modalities (such as CT) require them.

SetSeriesDescription()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetSeriesDescription ( const char *  )

virtual

Set a short description (max 64 chars) for the DICOM series.

The default description is "VTKX.Y" where X.Y is the VTK version.

SetStreaming()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetStreaming ( int  )

virtual

Turn on streaming, to pass one slice though the pipeline at a time.

Streaming decreases memory usage for images with a large number of slices, since only one slice will have to be in memory at a time. However, streaming can be slower (sometimes much slower) than reading and processing all of the slices at once.

SetTimeAsVector()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetTimeAsVector ( int  )

virtual

Write scalar components as the time dimension (default: Off).

If this is on, the writer assumes that each time slot is stored in a different scalar component of the image data. If it is off, the writer assumes that each block of N adjacent slices correspond to the N time slots of the time dimension.

SetTimeDimension()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetTimeDimension ( int  )

virtual

Set the time dimension to use in the DICOM file (or zero if none).

The number of components of the input data must be divisible by the time dimension if the time dimension is not set to zero. The vector dimension will be set to the number of components divided by the time dimension. This will be ignored if the SOP Class IOD does not permit a time dimension.

SetTransferSyntaxUID()

virtual void vtkDICOMWriter::SetTransferSyntaxUID ( const char *  )

virtual

Set the Transfer Syntax UID.

Setting the transfer syntax is an experimental feature. If not set, the transfer syntax will be 1.2.840.10008.1.2.1 (uncompressed little-endian with explicit VR).
