Class DicomInstanceValidator

java.lang.Object
  com.pixelmed.validate.DicomInstanceValidator

public class DicomInstanceValidator
extends Object

The DicomInstanceValidator class is for validating composite storage SOP instances against the standard IOD for the corresponding storage SOP Class.

Typically used by reading the list of attributes that comprise an object, validating them and displaying the resulting string results to the user on the standard output, in a dialog box or whatever. The basic implementation of the main method (that may be useful as a command line utility in its own right) is as follows:

        AttributeList list = new AttributeList();
        list.read(arg[0],null,true,true);
        DicomInstanceValidator validator = new DicomInstanceValidator();
        System.err.print(validator.validate(list));
