|  | const OFFilename & | directory = OFFilename() )

add specified DICOM file to the current DICOMDIR.

This method loads the given file, checks whether it conforms to the current application profile and finally adds it to the DICOMDIR (in case of conformance).

Parameters

  filename | name of the DICOM file to be added
  directory | directory where the DICOM file is stored (optional). This parameter might be useful in cases where the DICOM file is not (yet) stored in the final directory (i.e. "relative" to the DICOMDIR location).

Returns
  EC_Normal upon success, an error code otherwise

Parameters

  record | directory record where the icon image is stored
  dataset | DICOM dataset from which the icon image is possibly created
  size | resolution of the icon image to be created (width and height)
  sourceFilename | name of the source DICOM file

Returns

Returns
  OFTrue if successful, OFFalse otherwise

- ".BAK") is created from the existing file and automatically deleted after the new file has been written without any errors.
  Parameters

    profile | media storage application profile to be used for the DICOMDIR. NB: The same profile should be used as for the creation of the DICOMDIR file.
    filename | name of the DICOMDIR file to be appended. The filename may include a fully qualified pathname.

## ◆ recordMatchesDataset()

OFBool DicomDirInterface::recordMatchesDataset | ( | DcmDirectoryRecord * | record,
|  | DcmItem * | dataset )
| protected

check whether given directory record matches dataset.

The check depends on the record type and is performed mainly based on the unique key defined for the particular record type (e.g. SOPInstanceUID for IMAGE records). For PATIENT records the PatientName may also be used if the PatientID is absent.

Parameters

  record | directory record to be checked
  dataset | DICOM dataset of the current file

Returns
  OFTrue if record matches, OFFalse otherwise

## ◆ recordTypeToName()

OFString DicomDirInterface::recordTypeToName | ( | const E_DirRecType | recordType | ) |
| static

get string associated with the given directory record entry type.

Parameters

  recordType | record type

Returns
  text string representing the record type

## ◆ resolutionCheck()

See disableResolutionCheck() for more details.

Returns
  OFTrue if check is enabled, OFFalse otherwise

References ResolutionCheck.

## ◆ retiredSOPClassSupport()

OFBool DicomDirInterface::retiredSOPClassSupport | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

get current status of the "retired SOP class support" mode.

See enableRetiredSOPClassSupport() for more details.

Returns
  OFTrue if support is enabled, OFFalse otherwise

## ◆ selectApplicationProfile()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::selectApplicationProfile | ( | const E_ApplicationProfile | profile | ) |
| protected

select given application profile

Parameters

  profile | storage media application profile to be selected

Returns
  EC_Normal upon success, an error code otherwise

## ◆ setDefaultIcon()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::setDefaultIcon | ( | const OFFilename & | filename | ) |

set filename of default icon image.

For cases that the icon image cannot be created (neither from PGM nor from DICOM file, respectively) a default icon (8 bit binary PGM) can be specified. If this image also fails to load a black icon (filled with zeros) is used.

Parameters

  filename | name of the default PGM file

Returns
  always returns EC_Normal

## ◆ setDefaultValue()

void DicomDirInterface::setDefaultValue | ( | DcmDirectoryRecord * | record,
|  | const DcmTagKey & | key,
|  | const unsigned long | number,
|  | const char * | prefix = NULL )
| protected

set default value (number or prefix and number) to a given tag

Parameters

  record | directory record where the elements are stored
  key | tag of the element to be modified
  number | numeric value to be set as a the element value
  prefix | optional prefix to be added to the numeric value

## ◆ setFilesetDescriptor()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::setFilesetDescriptor | ( | const char * | filename,
|  | const char * | charset = DEFAULT_DESCRIPTOR_CHARSET )

set the file-set descriptor file ID and character set.

Prior to any internal modification both 'filename' and 'charset' are checked using the above checking routines. Existence of 'filename' is not checked. Requires a DICOMDIR object to exist (see createNewDicomDir(), appendToDicomDir() or updateDicomDir()).

Parameters

  filename | name of the file-set descriptor file to be set
  charset | character set of the file-set descriptor file to be set. default: ISO Latin 1 ("ISO_IR 100"), use NULL or empty string to omit value.

Returns
  EC_Normal upon success, an error code otherwise

## ◆ setIconPrefix()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::setIconPrefix | ( | const OFFilename & | prefix | ) |

set filename prefix for alternative icon images.

If non-empty the filename prefix is used to create the icon image from an externally stored PGM (portable gray map, 8 bit binary) file instead of the DICOM image file. The PGM filename is: 'prefix' + 'dicom_filename'. The image does not need to have the correct size as it is scaled automatically.

Parameters

  prefix | filename prefix (empty value to disable = default)

Returns
  always returns EC_Normal

## ◆ setIconSize()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::setIconSize | ( | const unsigned int | size | ) |

set preferred size of the icon images.

NB: some application profiles require a particular icon size. In those cases this manual setting is implicitly ignored.

Parameters

  size | size of the icon images in pixels (1..256, initial: 64)

Returns
  EC_Normal upon success, an error code otherwise

## ◆ transferSyntaxCheck()

OFBool DicomDirInterface::transferSyntaxCheck | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

get current status of the "transfer syntax check" mode.

See disableTransferSyntaxCheck() for more details.

Returns
  OFTrue if check is enabled, OFFalse otherwise

References TransferSyntaxCheck.

## ◆ updateDicomDir()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::updateDicomDir | ( | const E_ApplicationProfile | profile,
|  | const OFFilename & | filename )

create a DICOMDIR object based on an existing DICOMDIR file (update).

This function can be used to append new entries to and update existing entries in an existing DICOMDIR file. If the backup mode (see disableBackupMode()) is enabled, a backup copy ('filename'

- ".BAK") is created from the existing file and automatically deleted after the new file has been written without any errors.
  Parameters

    profile | media storage application profile to be used for the DICOMDIR
    filename | name of the DICOMDIR file to be updated. The filename may include a fully qualified pathname.

  Returns
    EC_Normal upon success, an error code otherwise

## ◆ warnAboutInconsistentAttributes()

OFBool DicomDirInterface::warnAboutInconsistentAttributes | ( | DcmDirectoryRecord * | record,
|  | DcmItem * | dataset,
|  | const OFFilename & | sourceFilename,
|  | const OFBool | abortCheck = OFFalse )
| protected

check if all the attributes in record match the values in dataset and warn if not

Parameters

  record | directory record to be checked
  dataset | DICOM dataset to be compared with the directory record
  sourceFilename | name of the source DICOM file
  abortCheck | flag indicating whether to abort on the first inconsistent record

Returns
  OFTrue in case of any inconsistency, OFFalse otherwise

## ◆ writeDicomDir()

OFCondition DicomDirInterface::writeDicomDir | ( | const E_EncodingType | encodingType = EET_UndefinedLength,
|  | const E_GrpLenEncoding | groupLength = EGL_withoutGL )

write the current DICOMDIR object to file.

NB: The filename has already been specified for the object creation (see above).

Parameters

  encodingType | flag, specifying the encoding with undefined or explicit length
  groupLength | flag, specifying how to handle the group length tags

Returns
  EC_Normal upon success, an error code otherwise
