pydicom.uid.register_transfer_syntax

pydicom.uid.register_transfer_syntax(uid: str | UID, implicit_vr: bool | None = None, little_endian: bool | None = None) → UID

Register a private transfer syntax with the uid module so it can be used when reading datasets with dcmread().

Parameters:

• uid (str | pydicom.uid.UID) – A UID which may or may not have had the corresponding dataset encoding set using set_private_encoding().

• implicit_vr (bool, optional) – If True then the transfer syntax uses implicit VR encoding, otherwise if False then it uses explicit VR encoding. Required when uid has not had the encoding set using set_private_encoding().

• little_endian (bool, optional) – If True then the transfer syntax uses little endian encoding, otherwise if False then it uses big endian encoding. Required when uid has not had the encoding set using set_private_encoding().

Returns:

The registered UID.

Return type:

pydicom.uid.UID
