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.

Member Function Documentation

const char* DcmUIDHandler::c_str ( ) const

inline

returns UID as C string

Returns

UID

void DcmUIDHandler::lookupSymbolicUID ( )

private

this method checks if the UID value passed to this object is a symbolic UID and in this case attempts to resolve by name.

This method is called from the constructor, must never be virtual.

const OFString& DcmUIDHandler::str ( ) const

inline

returns UID as const OFString reference

Returns

UID
