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.
• value holds definitions for values in standard DICOM elements, with the awareness of multiplicity, representation, and the possible presence of sequences.
• error contains crate-level error and result types.

Modules

dictionary	This module contains the concept of a DICOM data dictionary.
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.
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.

Enums

PrimitiveValue

An enum representing a primitive value from a DICOM element. The result of decoding an element’s data value may be one of the enumerated types depending on its content and value representation.
