DicomCodedConcept Class

Summary

Provides information about a DICOM "Coded Concept".

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

public class DicomCodedConcept

@interface LTDicomCodedConcept : NSObject

public ref class DicomCodedConcept

Remarks

When an instance of this class is returned from any of the methods of the DicomContextGroup class, none of the properties CodingSchemeDesignator , CodeValue, or CodeMeaning can be a null reference (Nothing in VB).
For the Coded Concepts that are maintained internally, the properties ContextGroupLocalVersion and ContextGroupExtensionCreatorUID are always set to a null reference (Nothing in VB).
