/*
 * \defgroup gdcmHeader
 * \brief
 * The purpose of an instance of gdcmHeader is to act as a container of
 * all the DICOM elements and their corresponding values (and
 * additionaly the corresponding DICOM dictionary entry) of the header
 * of a DICOM file.
 *
 * The typical usage of instances of class gdcmHeader is to classify a set of
 * dicom files according to header information e.g. to create a file hierarchy
 * reflecting the Patient/Study/Serie informations, or extracting a given
 * SerieId. Accessing the content (image[s] or volume[s]) is beyond the
 * functionality of this class and belongs to gdmcFile.
 * \note  The various entries of the explicit value representation (VR) shall
 *        be managed within a dictionary which is shared by all gdcmHeader
 *        instances.
 * \note  The gdcmHeader::Set*Tag* family members cannot be defined as
 *        protected due to Swig limitations for as Has_a dependency between
 *        gdcmFile and gdcmHeader.
