DICOM Headers: Internal Functions for DICOM Headers

Description

These functions are only used internally, via dicomInfo, to handle the various types of DICOM header fields.

Usage

floating.header(VR, implicit, fid, endian)
other.header(fid, implicit, endian)
pixeldata.header(hdr, implicit, fid, endian)
signed.header(VR, implicit, fid, endian)
sequence.header(group, element, fid, implicit, endian, skipSQ, SQ, EOS)
unknown.header(VR, implicit, fid, endian, skipSQ)
unsigned.header(VR, implicit, fid, endian)

Arguments

VR

is the

implicit

is a logical value that denotes if the VR is implicit or not.

fid

is the file object.

endian

is a character string denoting the endianness of the data, where possible values are big, little and swap.

hdr

is the DICOM header information provided in a list structure.

group

is the first hexadecimal number associated with the DICOM header element.

element

is the second hexadecimal number associated with the DICOM header element.

skipSQ

is a logical value (SQ = seqence).

SQ

is a character string (default = NULL).

EOS

is a logical value (EOS = end of sequence).

Value

• List with two elements:
• length
  is the length of the value in bytes.
• value
  is the value of the DICOM header field.
