L_LTDIC_API pDICOMIOD L_DicomGetLastIOD(pIOD, bTree)

Parameters

pDICOMIOD pIOD

Pointer to a DICOMIOD structure within the IOD Structure. A pointer to the DICOMIOD structure that contains the last item in the IOD Structure will be returned.

L_BOOL bTree

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

TRUE Evaluate the IOD Structure as a tree.
FALSE Evaluate the IOD Structure as a list.

Returns

Value Meaning
!NULL A pointer to a DICOMIOD structure that contains the last item in the IOD Structure.
NULL The IOD Structure is empty.
