Class ImagingStudy.Series

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Visitable
    Enclosing class:
    ImagingStudy
    public static class ImagingStudy.Series
extends BackboneElement
    Each study has one or more series of images or other content.

    • Method Detail

      • getUid

        public Id getUid()
        The DICOM Series Instance UID for the series.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Id that is non-null.

      • getNumber

        public UnsignedInt getNumber()
        The numeric identifier of this series in the study.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type UnsignedInt that may be null.

      • getModality

        public Coding getModality()
        The modality of this series sequence.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Coding that is non-null.

      • getDescription

        public String getDescription()
        A description of the series.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getNumberOfInstances

        public UnsignedInt getNumberOfInstances()
        Number of SOP Instances in the Study. The value given may be larger than the number of instance elements this resource contains due to resource availability, security, or other factors. This element should be present if any instance elements are present.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type UnsignedInt that may be null.

      • getEndpoint

        public java.util.List<Reference> getEndpoint()
        The network service providing access (e.g., query, view, or retrieval) for this series. See implementation notes for information about using DICOM endpoints. A series-level endpoint, if present, has precedence over a study-level endpoint with the same Endpoint.connectionType.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Reference that may be empty.

      • getBodySite

        public Coding getBodySite()
        The anatomic structures examined. See DICOM Part 16 Annex L (http://dicom.nema. org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part16/chapter_L.html) for DICOM to SNOMED-CT mappings. The bodySite may indicate the laterality of body part imaged; if so, it shall be consistent with any content of ImagingStudy.series. laterality.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Coding that may be null.

      • getLaterality

        public Coding getLaterality()
        The laterality of the (possibly paired) anatomic structures examined. E.g., the left knee, both lungs, or unpaired abdomen. If present, shall be consistent with any laterality information indicated in ImagingStudy.series.bodySite.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Coding that may be null.

      • getSpecimen

        public java.util.List<Reference> getSpecimen()
        The specimen imaged, e.g., for whole slide imaging of a biopsy.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Reference that may be empty.

      • getStarted

        public DateTime getStarted()
        The date and time the series was started.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type DateTime that may be null.

      • accept

        public void accept​(java.lang.String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use
