Method Detail

getRefSOP

RefSOP getRefSOP()

Returns the single item of DICOM Referenced SOP Sequence.
DICOM Tag: (0008,1199)
Tag Name: Referenced SOP Sequence
This is the value of the Composite Content Item. It references to a Composite Object SOP Class/SOP Instance pair. Only a single Item is permitted in this sequence.

NOTE: from [Clunie2000]

   There may not be more than one item (since that would imply 
   more than one value),52 and there may not be zero items 
   (since that would imply no value).
   
   52.
      This is not strictly true. As of the time of writing,
      there is what is probably an error in Supplement 23 
      that has not yet been corrected with a CP. Though the
      text describing the COMPOSITE value type implies a 
      single reference,the macro allows for one or more 
      items in the sequence. This also affects the IMAGE 
      and WAVEFORM value types which include the COMPOSITE 
      macro.
     
 

Returns:

Single item of Referenced SOP Sequence.
