Count (inherited from Sequence) Returns count of DICOM data elements.
FilePreamble DICOM file preamble.
IsEmpty (inherited from Sequence) Returns whether this instance contains DICOM data elements.
Item (inherited from DataSet) Access of a DICOM data set instance as array of DataElement. The index is a DICOM tag.
