L_LTDIC_API pDICOMIOD L_DicomGetChildIOD(pIOD)
| pDICOMIOD pIOD; | /* pointer to a DICOMIOD structure */ | 
Returns a pointer to the item in the IOD Structure that contains the first child of the specified item.
| Parameter | Description | 
| pIOD | Pointer to a DICOMIOD structure that contains an item in the IOD Structure. | 
Returns
| !NULL | A pointer to a DICOMIOD structure that contains the item in the IOD Structure that is the first child of the item specified in pIOD. | 
| NULL | pIOD has no child items. | 
Comments
This function requires that the IOD Structure is evaluated as a tree structure.
The child is the offspring one level lower than the specified item. If the specified item has no child items, this function will return NULL. For example:

| If the passed pointer points to : | The function returns a pointer to : | 
| Item 1 | NULL | 
| Item 2 | Item 3 | 
| Item 4 | Item 5 | 
| Item 6 | NULL |
