Expand description
Trait type for a DICOM object. This is a high-level abstraction where an object is accessed and manipulated as dictionary of entries indexed by tags, which in turn may contain a DICOM object.
This trait interface is experimental and prone to sudden changes.
Required Associated Types§
Required Methods§
sourcefn element(&self, tag: Tag) -> Result<Self::Element>
fn element(&self, tag: Tag) -> Result<Self::Element>
Retrieve a particular DICOM element by its tag.
sourcefn element_by_name(&self, name: &str) -> Result<Self::Element>
fn element_by_name(&self, name: &str) -> Result<Self::Element>
Retrieve a particular DICOM element by its name.
Provided Methods§
sourcefn meta(&self) -> Option<&FileMetaTable>
fn meta(&self) -> Option<&FileMetaTable>
Retrieve the processed meta information table, if available.
This table will generally not be reachable from children objects in another object with a valid meta table. As such, it is recommended for this method to be called at the root of a DICOM object.
