DICOM-rs core

This sub-project implements the essential data structures and mechanisms for dealing with DICOM information and communication formats, thus serving as a center piece for other crates in DICOM-rs.

This crate is part of the DICOM-rs project and is contained by the parent crate dicom.

lib.rs:

This is the core library of DICOM-rs containing various concepts, data structures and traits specific to DICOM content.

The current structure of this crate is as follows:

• header comprises various data types for DICOM element header, including common definitions for DICOM tags and value representations.
• dictionary describes common behavior of DICOM data dictionaries, which translate attribute names and/or tags to a dictionary entry containing relevant information about the attribute.
• [ops] provides constructs for defining operations on DICOM attributes, to be applied on types resembling DICOM objects or data sets.
• value holds definitions for values in standard DICOM elements, with the awareness of multiplicity, representation, and the possible presence of sequences.
