public class DICOM_RTC
extends java.lang.Object

RTC - Run Time Class (although it is actually statically defined here) This allows access to information in the DICOM data dictionary. Each group, element pair is accessed via a unique static integer variable defined here. This allows for extremely fast access to this table in a readable source code fashion. All integer hash indices are easily readable representations of group-element pairs. For example, (0010,0010) is represented by RTC.DD_PatientName. (0010,0020) is RTC.DD_PatientID, etc. If there is a group-element pair you require use of which is not hashed as an integer here, use the unknownDDType() method to hash it on the fly and receive a new integer hash index. *

Once an integer hash index is available, the following methods may be called: getGroup(), getElement(), getTypeCode(), and getTypeCodeName(), and getDescription()

See the main() routine in the source for usage example
