The QTPlgDicomStudy class defines data elements that convey informations about the study that generated the image(s) within a series.

Many data elements are defined by the Dicom Standard to be enclosed into this group and which of those elements are present into a given dicom file depends on the type of that file; some of them can be mandatory for a SOP Class optional for another and so on. However, the standard data elements supported by the QTPlgDicomStudy class should be enough in the most of the situations.

For every other element you eventually need, you can use the generic key ()–value () mechanism implemented by the class.

Since version 6.3 of the plugin this class can be used in Console Applications






The QTPlgDicomStudy class constructors are called when you create a new instance of the class, while the ˜QTPlgDicomStudy class destructor, is called automatically when the class is no more in use. Also, you can invoke the class destructor by setting the instance of the class to nil.
Once a new class instance is returned, it is good practice to check the class property to be sure that the new object can be used. See the validity requirements for more details.

The class provides you with the following initializer methods:
()
This is the default constructor. Use this constructor to create a new empty data set container in memory
(other as QTPlgDicomStudy)
This is the copy constructor. The properties of the object to be copied will be used to initialize the new class instance properties

specifies the character set that expands or replaces the Basic Graphic Set. Required if an expanded or replacement character set is used.
indicates the image identification characteristics.
specifies the name of the physician(s) administering the study
specifies a string that uniquely identifies the SOP Class
specifies a string that uniquely identifies the SOP Instance
specifies the date the study started
specifies the date the series that belongs to the study started
specifies the date the acquisition of data that resulted in this image started
specifies the date the image pixel data creation started. Required if image is part of a series in which the images are temporally related
this data element was formerly known as Image Date
indicates the time the study started
indicates the time the series that belongs to the study started
specifies the time the acquisition of data that resulted in this image started
specifies the time the image pixel data creation started. Required if image is part of a series in which the images are temporally related
specifies a RIS generated number that identifies the order for the study
specifies the type of equipment that originally acquired the data used to create the images in this Series
identifies the manufacturer of the equipment used to create the images in this Series
specifies the Institution where the equipment is located
identifies the mailing address of the institution where the equipment is located
specifies the patient’s primary referring physician for this study
specifies an user defined name identifying the machine that produced the data
specifies an Institution–generated description or classification of the study (component) performed
specifies an Institution–generated description or classification of the series that belongs to the study performed
specifies the manufacturer’s model name of the equipment used to create the images in this Series
