Remarks

  • You can remove all items from the IOD Structure using DicomIodTable.Reset.
  • Since the IOD Structure is stored internally as a tree, the deletion must be carried out as a tree.
  • Since the IOD Structure is stored internally as a tree, the deletion must be carried out as a tree.
  • Below are illustrations of these situations:

    For the sake of these illustrations, the order of siblings is top to bottom. A preceding sibling is drawn above the sibling it precedes, a following sibling is drawn below the sibling it follows.

    Please note that the numbering of the items of interest is arbitrary, and does not imply order.

    In this illustration item 2 will be deleted. Since it has a following sibling, the returned class will be item 3.



    In this illustration item 3 will be deleted. Since it does not have a following sibling, but does have a preceding sibling, the returned class will be item 2.

    In this illustration item 2 will be deleted. Since it is an only child, the returned class will be the parent, item 1.

    In this illustration item 1 will be deleted. Since it has no siblings and no parent, this method will return null.
