Module dicom_core::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.

Structs

DataElement	A data type that represents and owns a DICOM data element. Unlike PrimitiveDataElement, this type may contain multiple data elements through the item sequence VR (of type I).
DataElementHeader	A data structure for a data element header, containing a tag, value representation and specified length.
DataElementRef	A data type that represents a DICOM data element with a borrowed value.
Length	A type for representing data set content length, in bytes. An internal value of 0xFFFF_FFFF represents an undefined (unspecified) length, which would have to be determined with a traversal based on the content's encoding.
PrimitiveDataElement	A data type that represents and owns a DICOM data element containing a primitive value.
PrimitiveDataElementRef	A data type that represents a DICOM data element with a borrowed primitive value.
Tag	The data type for DICOM data element tags.

Enums

SequenceItemHeader	Data type for describing a sequence item data element. If the element represents an item, it will also contain the specified length.
VR	An enum type for a DICOM value representation.

Traits

Header

A trait for a data type containing a DICOM header.

Type Definitions

ElementNumber	Idiomatic alias for a tag's element number.
GroupNumber	Idiomatic alias for a tag's group number.
