Constructor Summary

SetOfFrameSets()
Create an empty new set of FrameSets.

SetOfFrameSets(Set<File> files)
Create a new set of FrameSets, from a set of DICOM files.

SetOfFrameSets(String[] paths)
Create a new set of FrameSets, from a set of DICOM files.

Method Summary

void	insertIntoFrameSets(AttributeList list) Insert a single frame object into the set of existing FrameSets, creating new FrameSets as necessary.
static void	main(String[] arg) For testing, read all DICOM files and partition them into FrameSets.

Constructor Detail

SetOfFrameSets

public SetOfFrameSets()

Create an empty new set of FrameSets.

SetOfFrameSets

public SetOfFrameSets(Set<File> files)

Create a new set of FrameSets, from a set of DICOM files.

Non-DICOM files and problems parsing files are ignored, rather than causing failure

Parameters:

files - a set of files

SetOfFrameSets

public SetOfFrameSets(String[] paths)

Create a new set of FrameSets, from a set of DICOM files.

Non-DICOM files and problems parsing files are ignored, rather than causing failure

Parameters:

paths - a set of paths of filenames and/or folder names of files containing the images

Method Detail

insertIntoFrameSets

public void insertIntoFrameSets(AttributeList list)
                         throws DicomException

Insert a single frame object into the set of existing FrameSets, creating new FrameSets as necessary.

Multi-frame, especially enhanced multi-frame, objects are not yet supported, since one purpose of this is to use FrameSets to create or simulate them. In future, support of creation of FrameSets from functional groups, and from frame vectors (as in NM images esp. RECON TOMO) may be added.

Parameters:

list - a list of DICOM attributes for an object

Throws:

DicomException - if no SOP Instance UID

toString

public String toString()

Return a String representing this object's value.

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractCollection<FrameSet>

Returns:

a string representation of the value of this object

main

public static void main(String[] arg)

For testing, read all DICOM files and partition them into FrameSets.

Parameters:

arg - the filenames and/or folder names of files containing the images
