#include "ltdic.h"

L_LTDIC_API pDICOMCODEDCONCEPT L_DicomGetFirstCodedConcept(pContextGroup)

pointer to a Context Group

Returns a pointer to the first Coded Concept in the specified Context Group.

Parameter	Description
pContextGroup	Pointer to a DICOMCONTEXTGROUP structure that specifies a Context Group in the Context Group Table. The function returns a pointer to the first Coded Concept in this Group, if it contains any.

Returns

!NULL	Pointer to a DICOMCODEDCONCEPT structure that specifies the first Coded Concept in the specified Context Group.
NULL	The specified Context Group does not contain any Coded Concepts.

Comments

Along with this function, the following functions can be used to maneuver through the Coded Concepts of a Context Group in the Context Group Table:

L_DicomGetLastCodedConcept

L_DicomGetNextCodedConcept

L_DicomGetPrevCodedConcept

You can also use the L_DicomGetCountCodedConcept and L_DicomFindIndexCodedConcept functions to enumerate the Coded Concepts.

Use the L_DicomGetCodedConceptGroup function to determine which Context Group contains a specific Coded Concept.
