function [PatientPositionCODE] = dicomrt_getPatientPosition(study)
% dicomrt_getPatientPosition(study)
%
% Get Patient Position 
% Return a number (CODE) which correspond to one of the supported cases
% 
% Patient Position codes: 
%
% Head First Supine (HFS) - CODE=1
% Feet First Supine (FFS) - CODE=2 
% Head First Prone  (HFP) - CODE=3
% Feet First Prone  (FFP) - CODE=4
% 
% Example:
%
% [B]=dicomrt_getPatientPosition(A)
%
% if patient position is HFS, dicomrt_getPatientPosition returns "1" in B.
