-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
