Image data is entered (or "put") into images using the IMAPTS, IMAPT, and IMAPTE calls. The reverse process of retrieving image data from an image (or "get") is done by using the IMAGTS, IMAGT, and IMAGTE calls. If the image is self-defining, the "put" process is a transfer operation and so a projection can be used.

The "get" process is always a transfer operation.

Images can also be entered into and retrieved from the application program using the IMASAV and IMARST calls. These store complete images into, and retrieve complete images from, a database or GDDM object library.

For detailed information on all image calls, see "The GDDM calls" in topic 3.0.
