The DICOMELEMENT structure contains information concerning the Data Elements contained in a DICOM data set.

Member	Description
GENERICLINK	Reserved.
nTag	Data element tag. For a list of default values, refer to Data Element Tag Constants.
nVR	Value representation. For a list of default values supported by DICOM, refer to Value Representation Constants.
nLength	Length of the value stored in the data element. If the stored value is a sequence, this value will be ELEMENT_LENGTH_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF).
nVM	Reserved.
pValue	Reserved.
nAttach	Reserved.
pOffset	Reserved.
pFile	Reserved.
pSize	Reserved.
nCount	Reserved.
pStringValue	Reserved.
nElementOffset	Offset (in bytes) of the element (relative to beginning of file).
nElementValueOffset	Offset (in bytes) of the element value (relative to beginning of file).
nElementValueLength	Length (in bytes) of the element value in bytes. Note that this element is a sequence, the length includes all the items in the sequence.

Comments

When a data set is loaded from a DICOM file, only the tag, the value representation and the length of the stored value data is actually loaded. This information is stored in the DICOMELEMENT structure. You can access and modify this data set information, add to the data set, or delete items from the data set.
