  ///  \brief Base class for DICOM objects and interface with DICOM toolkit DCMTK.
  ///
  ///  This class serves as the base class for all DICOM objects (patient, study, series, image).
  ///
  ///  The class is derived from DcmDataset, the data type that is used by the DICOM toolkit when
  ///  reading an image file or formulating a message request or receiving a message response (e.g. C-FIND).
  ///
  ///  Basically it offers a lot of convenience methods for subclasses to read and write DICOM attributes
  ///  using Qt types. It is the subclasses responsibility to use the correct data types as defined in DICOM.
  ///
  ///  \note ONLY the Get.. methods should be used to access the internal dataset.
  ///
  ///  When reading string type attributes (LO, LT, PN, SH, ST, UT), we consider the "specific character set"
  ///  tag and decode the stored string using the correct encoding (using Qt methods). This allows to
  ///  display e.g. person names written in arabic, hebrew, greek, russian, etc. letters.
  ///
  ///  \warning Right now, asian phonetic strings cause problems. We have to learn the concept.
  ///  \warning Helpers for writing DICOM attributes are not yet implemented. Implementation is straightforward though and can be done when necessary.
  ///  \warning DateTime objects ignore the timezone at the moment. This is however of secondary importance.
  ///
  ///  A subclass could possibly want to store the internal DcmDataset.
  ///  For this purpose, the internal DcmDataset is serialized into a memory buffer using DcmDataset::write(..). This buffer
  ///  is stored in a base64 encoded string. For deserialization we decode the string and use DcmDataset::read(..).
