ChangeLossyUIDs Property (DicomGlobal)

In This Topic

Controls whether DicomObjects changes the UID when doing lossy compression

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Property ChangeLossyUIDs As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim value As Boolean
 
DicomGlobal.ChangeLossyUIDs = value
 
value = DicomGlobal.ChangeLossyUIDs

public static bool ChangeLossyUIDs {get; set;}

public:
static property bool ChangeLossyUIDs {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

Remarks

There are times when the negotiated transfer syntaxes for a DicomAssociation require a previously uncompressed (or losslessly compressed) image to be transmmited in a lossy form. Although the DICOM standard is not entirely clear, most people believe that a new instance UID should be generated whenever this happens. This is the normal DicomObjects behaviour, and a reference to the original UID is included in the referenced image sequence. However, some query SCUs having requested a specific image by it's UID fail to look in the referenced image sequence and reject images with UIDs other than those they had requested.

This property provides a default value for new DicomAssociation objects, and also controls the behaviour for DicomImage.Write and DicomDataSet.Write. The default value of this property is true, causing new UIDs to be generated.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET CLR 3.5 or higher
