Detailed Description

helper class that manages a single DICOM UID.

Unlike class DcmUniqueIdentifier, this class does not manage an attribute tag or means of encoding/decoding UIDs. Instead it allows to convert between numeric and symbolic representation of a UID and implements a syntactical check.

This class supports two special Transfer Syntax names, "LocalEndianExplicit" and "OppositeEndianExplicit". These are resolved to the explicit VR transfer syntaxes of the local byte order and the opposite byte order of the system the application is running on.

const [inline]

returns UID as C string

Returns:

UID

void DcmUIDHandler::lookupSymbolicUID
