DICOM Macros

The following macros are available for use with the LEADTOOLS DICOM Class Library:

#define MAKETAG(nGroup,nElement) ((L_UINT32)((((L_UINT32)nGroup) << 16) | nElement))

#define GETGROUP(nTag)           ((L_UINT16)(nTag >> 16))

#define GETELEMENT(nTag)         ((L_UINT16)(nTag & 0xFFFF))

For an example, refer to LDicomDS::ConformanceDS and LDicomDS::GetCharValue.
