The QTPlgDicomImage class defines data elements that convey informations useful to identify and describe an image.

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. The QTPlgDicomImage class defines just a handful of data elements belonging to this group that could appear more frequently in dicom files.

For every other you should use the generic key ()–value () mechanism implemented by the class.







The QTPlgDicomImage class constructors are called when you create a new instance of the class, while the ˜QTPlgDicomImage 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 QTPlgDicomImage)
This is the copy constructor. The properties of the object to be copied will be used to initialize the new class instance properties
