L_DicomGetPrevIOD

#include "Ltdic.h"

pDICOMIOD EXT_FUNCTION L_DicomGetPrevIOD(pIOD, bTree)

pDICOMIOD pIOD;

/* pointer to a DICOMIOD structure */

L_BOOL bTree;

/* flag that indicates how to evaluate the IOD Structure */

Returns a pointer to the item in the IOD Structure that immediately precedes the specified item.

Parameter

Description

pIOD

Pointer to a DICOMIODstructure that contains an item in the IOD Structure. A pointer to the item in the IOD Structure that immediately precedes this item will be returned.

bTree

Flag that indicates how the IOD Structure will be evaluated. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

TRUE

Evaluate the IOD Structure as a tree.

 

FALSE

Evaluate the IOD Structure as a list.

Returns

!NULL

A pointer to a DICOMIODstructure that contains the item in the IOD Structure that immediately precedes the item specified in pIOD.

NULL

There is not an item preceding pIOD. (pIOD is the first item in the IOD Structure.)

Comments

If the IOD Structure is evaluated as a tree structure, this function returns the previous item on the same level as pIOD with the same parent as pIOD. Please note that the numbering of the items in this illustration is arbitrary and does not imply order.

If the passed pointer points to :

The function returns a pointer to :

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

Item 4

Item 5

NULL

Item 6

Item 7

If the IOD Structure is evaluated as a list, the previous item in the list is returned. Please note that the numbering of the items in this illustration does indicate the order of the items when the IOD Structure is evaluated as a list.

The following functions will also help you navigate the IOD Structure as either a tree or a list:

L_DicomGetFirstIOD

L_DicomGetLastIOD

L_DicomGetNextIOD

If you evaluate the IOD Structure as a tree, you can also use the following functions to navigate the tree:

L_DicomGetRootIOD

L_DicomGetParentIOD

L_DicomGetChildIOD
