Detailed Description

Class for storing the "Basic Coded Entry Attributes".

This class should be used to define code constants since it is a lightweight structure that does not carry any overhead and also does not perform any unnecessary checks on the data passed to it. Furthermore, the individual values cannot be modified after an instance of this class has been constructed. Therefore, the members can be accessed publicly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DSRBasicCodedEntry() [1/2]

DSRBasicCodedEntry::DSRBasicCodedEntry	(	const OFString &	codeValue,
		const OFString &	codingSchemeDesignator,
		const OFString &	codeMeaning,
		const DSRTypes::E_CodeValueType	codeValueType = DSRTypes::CVT_Short
	)

constructor.

To be used when the code to be set consists of three values (code value, coding scheme designator and code meaning).

Parameters

codeValue	identifier of the code to be set that is unambiguous within the coding scheme. (VR=SH/UC/UR, mandatory)
codingSchemeDesignator	identifier of the coding scheme in which the code for a term is defined. (VR=SH, conditional)
codeMeaning	human-readable translation of the 'codeValue'. Can be used for display when code dictionary is not available. (VR=LO, mandatory)
codeValueType	type of 'codeValue' (short, long or URN) used to map the value to the correct DICOM value representation (VR). The default value is the one most often used (DSRTypes::CVT_Short).

DSRBasicCodedEntry() [2/2]

DSRBasicCodedEntry::DSRBasicCodedEntry	(	const OFString &	codeValue,
		const OFString &	codingSchemeDesignator,
		const OFString &	codingSchemeVersion,
		const OFString &	codeMeaning,
		const DSRTypes::E_CodeValueType	codeValueType = DSRTypes::CVT_Short
	)

constructor.

To be used when the code to be set consists of four values (code value, coding scheme designator, coding scheme version and code meaning).

Parameters

codeValue	identifier of the code to be set that is unambiguous within the coding scheme. (VR=SH/UC/UR, mandatory)
codingSchemeDesignator	identifier of the coding scheme in which the code for a term is defined. (VR=SH, conditional)
codingSchemeVersion	version of the coding scheme. May be used to identify the version of a coding scheme if necessary to resolve ambiguity in the 'codeValue' or 'codeMeaning'. (VR=SH, optional)
codeMeaning	human-readable translation of the 'codeValue'. Can be used for display when code dictionary is not available. (VR=LO, mandatory)
codeValueType	type of 'codeValue' (short, long or URN) used to map the value to the correct DICOM value representation (VR). The default value is the one most often used (DSRTypes::CVT_Short).
