Parameters

Keyword

The DICOM Keyword of the data element.

Value

The Value to be assigned

This method is to add standard elements, VR of which will be determined by the internal dictionary. The type of value required for the "Value" parameter depends on the value representation of the data element, as defined by the values of group and element. Values of the types are always acceptable, as are values of other types that can be suitably coerced. Variants of type �null� are also accepted, resulting a zero-length data element, which can be useful in raw queries and for �type 2� elements. There are some special conditions relating to date and time types.

To create a sequence, value may be a DicomDataSetCollection.

If the data element being added has a potential value multiplicity (VM) of >1, then value may be either an array or scalar, but if the element�s VM is always 1, then an attempt to assign an array will generate an error.

Any existing data element with the same group and element will be silently replaced, even if it is an array.
