DCMTK: C/C++ Hash Table Interface for DICOM Data Dictionary

DCMTK: C/C++ Hash Table Interface for DICOM Data Dictionary

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard format for medical images and related information. DCMTK (DICOM Toolkit) is an open source software package for processing and communicating DICOM data. DCMTK contains a wealth of functions and tools, one of which is the hash table interface for the DICOM data dictionary.

The DICOM data dictionary is a collection that defines various DICOM data elements, each data element has a unique identifier and associated definition. DCMTK provides an interface for accessing and parsing DICOM data dictionaries, including functionality for efficient access using hash tables.

Here is a C++ example using DCMTK that demonstrates how to use the hash table interface to access a DICOM data dictionary:

#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dctk.h"

int main()
{
   
    
    
    // 初始化 DCMTK 库
