I have some questions regarding the interface for creating and accessing a DICOMDIR.
I have just created a DICOMDIR using the DicomDirInterface class (imported some studies from files), and now I want to perform queries on the same DICOMDIR.
I would really want to have some function that searches for and returns only the patients (the complete DcmItem object, and not just the DcmElement) so that I later can perform substring matching for narrowing a search. Is this possible? I've scanned through the code and I don't immidiately see any function which does exactly this.
Or, put in other words, I would like to list out all patients, and for each patient, lets say print patient name, id, gender and so forth (only way I can see this done right now is to perform a complete new search for every tag....)
Hopefully I'm missing something essential here
