Bulk Data Encapsulation Utilities (pydicom.encaps)

Functions for parsing and applying encapsulation to bulk data elements such as (7FE0,0010) Pixel Data.

Parsing Encapsulated Data

decode_data_sequence(data)	Read encapsulated data and return a list of bytes.
defragment_data(data)	Read encapsulated data and return the fragments as one continuous bytes.
generate_pixel_data(bytestream[, nr_frames])	Yield an encapsulated pixel data frame.
generate_pixel_data_fragment(fp)	Yield the encapsulated pixel data fragments.
generate_pixel_data_frame(bytestream[, ...])	Yield complete frames from buffer as bytes.
get_frame_offsets(fp)	Return a list of the fragment offsets from the Basic Offset Table.
read_item(fp)	Read and return a single Item in the fragmented data stream.
parse_basic_offsets(buffer, *[, endianness])	Return the encapsulated pixel data's basic offset table frame offsets.
parse_fragments(buffer, *[, endianness])	Return the number of fragments and their positions in buffer.
generate_fragments(buffer, *[, endianness])	Yield frame fragments from the encapsulated pixel data in buffer.
generate_fragmented_frames(buffer, *[, ...])	Yield fragmented pixel data frames from buffer.
generate_frames(buffer, *[, ...])	Yield complete pixel data frames from buffer.
get_frame(buffer, index, *[, ...])	Return the specified frame at index.

Creating Encapsulated Data

encapsulate(frames[, fragments_per_frame, ...])	Return encapsulated frames.
encapsulate_extended(frames)	Return encapsulated image data and values for the Extended Offset Table elements.
fragment_frame(frame[, nr_fragments])	Yield one or more fragments from frame.
itemize_fragment(fragment)	Return an itemized fragment.
itemize_frame(frame[, nr_fragments])	Yield items generated from frame.
