One common way of saveing elapsed time is to convert it to seconds. That value interpreted as seconds yields about 47 1/2 years

What is AGE telling you?

AW

<div>
DICOM uses an AS field for ages, that is an Age String. &nbsp;It consists of exactly four characters which are the three digit numeric representation of the age followed by a character representing the &quot;units&quot;:<br />
<br />
010Y = 10 years<br />
305D = 305 days<br />
004W = 4 weeks<br />
007M = 7 months<br />
<br />
It just so happens this &quot;number&quot; is 4 bytes of data: 59343530 in hex. &nbsp;That corresponds to the four characters Y450 which is a date string backwards<br />
<br />
054Y = 45 years old.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

DICOM uses an AS field for ages, that is an Age String.  It consists of exactly four characters which are the three digit numeric representation of the age followed by a character representing the "units":

010Y = 10 years
305D = 305 days
004W = 4 weeks
007M = 7 months

It just so happens this "number" is 4 bytes of data: 59343530 in hex.  That corresponds to the four characters Y450 which is a date string backwards

054Y = 45 years old.

Hope this helps.

Oops, that's 54 years old.<br />

KurtVon, How did you get to the result 59343530???? Fair enough i can convert this binary number to Y450, but where did the 59343530 come from?? <br />

I have a program, that for data requirements has converted the AGE field into a 10 digit number?? I am sure it is just converted via HEX/Binary etc or something, can you help.<br />
<br />
AGE = 1496593712<br />
<br />
For your reference it is the conversion used for Dicom images.<br />
<br />
Thanx

Conversion of data

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
