Comments

Internally LEADTOOLS maintains a table or list of available unique identifiers. These values can include default values for standard unique identifiers available in DICOM, as well as user defined unique identifiers. You can access any of this information, add to the table, or delete items from the table using the L_DicomXXXUID functions. To see the default values, refer to the Default UID Table.

Functions:	L_DicomDefaultUID, L_DicomInsertUID, L_DicomDeleteUID, L_DicomExistsUID, L_DicomResetUID, L_DicomGetFirstUID, L_DicomGetLastUID, L_DicomGetPrevUID, L_DicomGetNextUID, L_DicomGetCountUID, L_DicomFindUID, L_DicomFindIndexUID, L_DicomSetNameUID
