Constructor Detail

DicomInputStream

public DicomInputStream(InputStream aInput)

Construct a stream to read DICOM data sets from the supplied stream.

Look for a meta information header; if absent guess at a transfer syntax based on the contents.

Parameters:

i - the input stream to read from

Throws:

IOException

DicomInputStream

                        TransferSyntax aTransferSyntax)

Method Detail

getTransferSyntax

public TransferSyntax getTransferSyntax()

isExplicitVR

public boolean isExplicitVR()

Is the transfer syntax use explicit VR ?

Returns:

true if explicit VR

setTransferSyntax
