pydicom.pixels.decoders.base.DecodeRunner

class pydicom.pixels.decoders.base.DecodeRunner(tsyntax: UID)

decode(index: int) → bytes | bytearray

Decode the frame of pixel data at index.

Parameters:

index (int) – The index of the frame to be decoded.

Returns:

The decoded frame of pixel data.

Returns:

Returns the extended offsets and lengths as either lists of int or their equivalent encoded values, or None if no extended offsets have been set.

Return type:

tuple[list[int], list[int]] | tuple[bytes, bytes] | None

frame_length(unit: str = 'bytes') → int

Return the expected length (in number of bytes or pixels) of each frame of pixel data.

Parameters:

unit (str, optional) – If "bytes" then returns the expected length of the pixel data in whole bytes and NOT including an odd length trailing NULL padding byte. If "pixels" then returns the expected length of the pixel data in terms of the total number of pixels (default "bytes").

Returns:

The expected length of a single frame of pixel data in either whole bytes or pixels, excluding the NULL trailing padding byte for odd length data.

Return type:

int

get_data(src: bytes | bytearray | memoryview | BinaryIO, offset: int, length: int) → bytes

• offset (int) – The starting offset of the data in src.

• length (int) – The number of bytes to try to return.

Returns:

The data from src, may return fewer bytes if the end of src is reached before offset + length.
