```elixir
@spec generate() :: String.t()
```

Generates a unique DICOM UID.

Uses the library's org root followed by a timestamp and random component.
The result is guaranteed to be <= 64 characters.

# `storage_sop_class?`

```elixir
@spec storage_sop_class?(String.t()) :: boolean()
```

Returns true if the UID represents a storage SOP class.

Delegates to `Dicom.SOPClass.storage?/1` for accurate O(1) lookup
against the full registry of storage SOP classes.

# `study_root_qr_find`

# `study_root_qr_get`

# `study_root_qr_move`

# `transfer_syntax?`

```elixir
@spec transfer_syntax?(String.t()) :: boolean()
```

Returns true if the UID represents a known transfer syntax.

Uses the `Dicom.TransferSyntax` registry for authoritative O(1) lookup.

# `us_image_storage`

# `valid?`

```elixir
@spec valid?(String.t()) :: boolean()
```

Validates a DICOM UID format.

Per PS3.5 Section 9: UIDs are max 64 characters, contain only digits and dots,
no leading zeros in components (except "0" itself), and must have at least
two components.
