DisplaySet Service

Overview​

DisplaySetService handles converting the instanceMetadata into DisplaySet that OHIF uses for the visualization. DisplaySetService gets initialized in the Mode.jsx. During the initialization SOPClassHandlerIds of the modes gets registered with the DisplaySetService.

Based on the instanceMetadata's SOPClassHandlerId, the correct module from the registered extensions is found by OHIF and its getDisplaySetsFromSeries runs to create a DisplaySet for the Series.

DisplaySets are created synchronously when the instances metadata is retrieved and added to the DicomMetaDataStore.

Events​

There are three events that get broadcasted in DisplaySetService:

EventDescription
DISPLAY_SETS_ADDEDFires a displayset is added to the displaysets cache
DISPLAY_SETS_CHANGEDFires when a displayset is changed
DISPLAY_SETS_REMOVEDFires when a displayset is removed

    • settings = {}: Hanging protocol viewport or rendering settings. For instance, setting the initial voi, or activating a tool upon displaySet rendering. Read more about hanging protocols settings here
  • getDisplaySetByUID: Returns the displaySet based on the DisplaySetUID.

  • getDisplaySetForSOPInstanceUID: Returns the displaySet that includes an image with the provided SOPInstanceUID
