Function: parseSpecificCharacterSet()

parseSpecificCharacterSet(bytes): readonly string[]

Parse a (0008,0005) Specific Character Set value (a CS, possibly multi-valued via ``) into its trimmed defined terms.

The first value may be empty (the ISO-2022 "G0 starts as ISO_IR 6" rule); it is preserved as "" rather than dropped so resolveDecoderLabel can apply the default-repertoire fallback.

Parameters

bytes

Buffer

Returns

readonly string[]

Example

import { parseSpecificCharacterSet } from "@cosyte/dicom";
// bytes for "ISO 2022 IR 6\\ISO 2022 IR 87"
const terms = parseSpecificCharacterSet(buf);
