public class JSONRepresentationOfDicomObjectFactory extends java.lang.Object
A class to encode a representation of a DICOM object in a JSON form, and to convert it back again.
There are a number of characteristics of this form of output:
Note that a round trip from DICOM to JSON and back again does not always result in full fidelity, since:
- Binary floating point values will lose precision when converted to string representation and back again
- Leading and trailing white space and control characters in strings will be discarded
- Meta information header elements will be changed
- Structural elements such as group lengths will be removed and may or may not be replaced
- Physical offsets such as in the DICOMDIR will be invalidated
- Large attributes with OB and OW value representations will have their values discarded so as not to encode the bulk pixel data (probably should be added as an option)
A typical example of how to invoke this class to convert DICOM to JSON would be:
try { AttributeList list = new AttributeList(); list.read("dicomfile",null,true,true); JsonArray document = new JSONRepresentationOfDicomObjectFactory().getDocument(list); JSONRepresentationOfDicomObjectFactory.write(System.out,document); } catch (Exception e) { slf4jlogger.error("",e); }
or even simpler, if there is no further use for the JSON document:
try { AttributeList list = new AttributeList(); list.read("dicomfile",null,true,true); JSONRepresentationOfDicomObjectFactory.createDocumentAndWriteIt(list,System.out); } catch (Exception e) { slf4jlogger.error("",e); }
A typical example of converting JSON back to DICOM would be:
try { AttributeList list = new JSONRepresentationOfDicomObjectFactory().getAttributeList("jsonfile"); list.insertSuitableSpecificCharacterSetForAllStringValues(); list.write(System.out,TransferSyntax.ExplicitVRLittleEndian,true,true); } catch (Exception e) { slf4jlogger.error("",e); }
or if you need to handle the meta information properly:
try { AttributeList list = new JSONRepresentationOfDicomObjectFactory().getAttributeList("jsonfile"); list.insertSuitableSpecificCharacterSetForAllStringValues(); String sourceApplicationEntityTitle = Attribute.getSingleStringValueOrEmptyString(list,TagFromName.SourceApplicationEntityTitle); list.removeMetaInformationHeaderAttributes(); FileMetaInformation.addFileMetaInformation(list,TransferSyntax.ExplicitVRLittleEndian,sourceApplicationEntityTitle); list.write(System.out,TransferSyntax.ExplicitVRLittleEndian,true,true); } catch (Exception e) { slf4jlogger.error("",e); }
When the JSON is being converted to DICOM, the group, element and VR attributes are not needed if the element name is a keyword that can be found in the dictionary; if they are present, then their values are checked against the dictionary values.
