Public API Overview

This section highlights the key public API changes and additions in Aspose.Medical for .NET 25.7.

Handling Mixed Character Sets in DICOM

The new Aspose.Medical.Common.Text.DicomEncoding class provides advanced control over character encoding in DICOM files. You can now register custom encodings and providers to handle mixed character sets within a single text element.

Example: Using a Custom Encoding for Mixed Charsets

This example demonstrates how to register a custom encoding and use it to save and load a DICOM file with a patient name in a mixed-character-set format.

// Register a custom encoding provider
CustomEncodingProvider provider = new();
Aspose.Medical.Common.Text.DicomEncoding.Current.RegisterProvider(provider);

// Register a specific encoding for a DICOM character set
Aspose.Medical.Common.Text.DicomEncoding.Current.RegisterEncoding("ISO 2022 IR 127", "iso-8859-6");

// Create a DICOM dataset with a mixed-charset patient name
Aspose.Medical.Dicom.Dataset dataset = new Aspose.Medical.Dicom.Dataset();
dataset.AddOrUpdate(Aspose.Medical.Dicom.Tags.Tag.SpecificCharacterSet, "ISO 2022 IR 127");
dataset.AddOrUpdate(Aspose.Medical.Dicom.Tags.Tag.PatientName, "Patient^Name");

// Save the DICOM file
Aspose.Medical.Dicom.DicomFile initial = new Aspose.Medical.Dicom.DicomFile(dataset);
using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
    initial.Save(stream);
    stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);

    // Load the DICOM file and verify the patient name
    Aspose.Medical.Dicom.DicomFile saved = Aspose.Medical.Dicom.DicomFile.Open(stream);
    string patientName = saved.Dataset.GetValue<string>(Aspose.Medical.Dicom.Tags.Tag.PatientName, 0);
}

New Documentation

A new article, Custom Text Encoding, has been added to the documentation to guide you through the process of using custom text encodings.
