Crate dicom_core

This is the core library of DICOM-rs containing various concepts, data structures and traits specific to DICOM content.

The current structure of this crate is as follows:

• header comprises various data types for DICOM element header, including common definitions for DICOM tags and value representations.
• dictionary describes common behavior of DICOM data dictionaries, which translate attribute names and/or tags to a dictionary entry containing relevant information about the attribute.
• ops provides constructs for defining operations on DICOM attributes, to be applied on types resembling DICOM objects or data sets.
• value holds definitions for values in standard DICOM elements, with the awareness of multiplicity, representation, and the possible presence of sequences.

header

This modules contains an assortment of types required for interpreting DICOM data elements. It comprises a variety of basic data types, such as the DICOM attribute tag, the element header, and element composite types.

ops

Module for the attribute operations API.

prelude

Prelude module.

value

This module includes a high level abstraction over a DICOM data element’s value.

Macros

dicom_value

Helper macro for constructing a DICOM primitive value, of an arbitrary variant and multiplicity.
