Detailed Description

Class representing a single rule, that refers to a single attribute.

Each rule is uniquely identified by the attribute's tag key and includes information on the Value Multiplicity (VM) of the attribute, its type (1, 1C, 2,...), the module (e.g. "PatientModule") or structure (e.g. "CodeSequenceMacro") it belongs to, a default value and its private creator if it is a private attribute. On top, the Information Entity according to the DICOM Model of the Real World can be stored, e.g. "Patient" for the "PatientModule".

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IODRule::IODRule	(	const DcmTagKey &	key,
		const OFString &	VM,
		const OFString &	type,
		const OFString &	module,
		const DcmIODTypes::IOD_IE	ie,
		const OFString &	defaultValue = `""`,
		const OFString &	privateCreator = `""`
	)

Constructor to create a new attribute rule.

Parameters

key	The tag key of the attribute
VM	The VM of the attribute (notation like in DICOM part 6, e.g. "1-n")
type	The "IOD type" of the attribute. Allowed values "1", "1C", "2", "2C" and "3"
module	The module or "component" this attribute belongs to
ie	The Information Entity the module belongs to
defaultValue	The default value (default: empty)
privateCreator	The private creator of the attribute if attribute (default: No private creator)

Member Function Documentation

virtual OFCondition IODRule::check	(	DcmItem &	item,
		const OFBool	quiet = `OFFalse`
	)

virtual

Check whether the given item fulfills the requirements of this rule, i.e. the related attribute is checked within the given item.

Parameters

item	The item to check the attribute in
quiet	If OFTrue, no error or warning messages will be produced but only the return code will indicate OK or error.

Returns: EC_Normal if this rule is fulfilled, error otherwise

IODRule* IODRule::clone ( )

Return deep copy of this object.

Returns: Deep copy of "this" object

virtual OFString IODRule::getDefaultValue ( ) const

virtual

Get default value of this attribute.

Returns: The default value (might be empty)

virtual DcmIODTypes::IOD_IE IODRule::getIE ( ) const

virtual

Get Information Entity the related attribute belongs to.

Returns: The Information Entity (might be empty)

virtual OFString IODRule::getModule ( ) const

virtual

Get module (or component name) the related attribute belongs to.

Returns: The module or component name (e.g. "PatientModule" or "CodeSequenceMacro")
