DICOM: Annotate DICOM images in WPF

In This Topic

The annotations may be displayed over the DICOM image in WPF image viewer.

For each annotation is implemented a class, which defines the way the annotation appearance is displayed and how the user can interact with the annotation:

Rectangle annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomRectangleAnnotationView class
Ellipse annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomEllipseAnnotationView class
Point annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomPointAnnotationView class
Polyline annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomPolylineAnnotationView class
Multiline annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomMultilineAnnotationView class
Range line annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomRangeLineAnnotationView class
Arrow annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomArrowAnnotationView class
Text annotation - appearance and interaction with annotation is defined using WpfDicomTextAnnotationView class

The WpfDicomAnnotationTool class allows to display and edit the annotations of DICOM image in WPF image viewer.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to display annotations of DICOM file in WPF image viewer:

// create a DICOM visual tool
Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation.Dicom.Wpf.UI.VisualTools.WpfDicomAnnotationTool annotationTool = 
    new Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation.Dicom.Wpf.UI.VisualTools.WpfDicomAnnotationTool();
// set the DICOM visual tool as active visual tool in image viewer
viewer.VisualTool = annotationTool;

// load a presentation state file
Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.ImageFiles.Dicom.DicomFile presentationStateFile = 
    new Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.ImageFiles.Dicom.DicomFile(presentationStateFilePath);
// add DICOM annotations from the presentation state file to the DICOM visual tool
annotationTool.AnnotationDataController.AddAnnotationDataSet(presentationStateFile.Annotations);

// load a DICOM file in the image viewer
viewer.Images.Add(dicomFilePath);

VB.NET

' create a DICOM visual tool
Dim annotationTool As New Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation.Dicom.Wpf.UI.VisualTools.WpfDicomAnnotationTool()
' set the DICOM visual tool as active visual tool in image viewer
viewer.VisualTool = annotationTool

' load a presentation state file
Dim presentationStateFile As New Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.ImageFiles.Dicom.DicomFile(presentationStateFilePath)
' add DICOM annotations from the presentation state file to the DICOM visual tool
annotationTool.AnnotationDataController.AddAnnotationDataSet(presentationStateFile.Annotations)

' load a DICOM file in the image viewer
viewer.Images.Add(dicomFilePath)
