DICOM Macros

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

#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 L_DicomConformanceDS and L_DicomGetCharValue.
