-For people who get this new release :
-
-We consider now that :
-- any dicom related file is a gdcm::Document.
-- a gdcm::Document can be :
- - a gdcm::File, if it contains pixel data,
- - a gdcm::DicomDir, if it contains only informations
- on the files in a given directory
-
-- in a gdcm::Document, there are gdcm::DocEntry, that can be :
- - gdcm::ContentEntry (any entry that has an actual value,
- *not* an embedded set of other gdcm::DocEntry)
- a gdcm::ContentEntry can be :
- - gdcm::ValEntry (whose value is std::string representable
- e.g. character values, or integers),
- - gdcm::BinEntry (whose value is not std::string representable
- e.g. color palettes, overlays, icons , ...)
- - gdcm::Sequence (no proper 'value', but a set of gdcm::SQItems,
- composed of a set of gdc::DocEntry, recursively)
-
-- in a gdcm::DicomDir, we only deal, hierarchically, with :
- - gdcmPatient
- - gdcmStudy
- - gdcmSerie
- - gdcmImage
+Example :
+
+old way :
+ DocEntry *p3 = item2->GetDocEntry(0x0018,0x0050);
+ if( !p3 ) return false;
+ ContentEntry *entry2 = dynamic_cast(p3);
+ std::string thickness = entry2->GetValue();
+
+new way :
+ DocEntry *p3 = item2->GetDocEntry(0x0018,0x0050);
+ if( !p3 ) return false;
+ DataEntry *entry2 = dynamic_cast(p3);
+ std::string thickness = entry2->GetString();
+

+ - Avoid tons of CPU time consuming accesses to DICOM Dictionnary

+For multivaluated numeric DataEntries
+-->void DataEntry::SetValue(const uint32_t &id,const double &val);
+-->double DataEntry::GetValue(const uint32_t &id) const;
+-->uint32_t DataEntry::GetValueCount() const;
+
+For converting 'Decimal String'
+-->bool GetDSValue(std::vector <double> &valueVector);
+
