Dear Forum,

We have several topics with information how to extract pixel data from DICOM file, but question is - how to extract PDF content from DICOM file and save to PDF?

The PDF content in encapsulated PDF is in DicomTags.EncapsulatedDocument DICOM TAG. It is a UINT type. What streamwriter shoudl I use to save the UINT in file?

I wrote following code:

using (FileStream stream = new FileStream("C:\\mysecretfile.pdf", FileMode.Create))

            {
                using (XXX writer = new XXX())
                {
                    writer.Write(dcm.DataSet[DicomTags.EncapsulatedDocument]);
                    writer.Close();
                }
            }

 

Ok, I found the solution - BinaryWriter :)

can u give a example in code of how to write dicom encapsulated pdf?

I'm sorry, but I cannot help - I know only how to extract PDF from EncPDF dicom file.
