Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) includes transfer syntax. The transfer syntax is a complete set of DICOM encoding rules for medical images.
This appendix includes these sections:
See Also:

for more information about DICOM encoding rules (DICOM standard, Part 5 and Part 6)
Table C-1 lists the DICOM encoding rules that support medical imaging in Oracle Multimedia DICOM. See Section C.2 for descriptions of the abbreviations used in the Support column for Table C-1.

These abbreviations are used in Table C-1:
The processCopy( ), createDicomImage( ), and writeMetadata( ) procedures and methods are able to produce DICOM content of this transfer syntax.
The extractMetadata( ), setProperties( ), and isConformanceValid( ) methods are able to read DICOM content of this transfer syntax. If the encoding rule is not changing between the source and destination DICOM content, then the processCopy( ), createDicomImage( ), and writeMetadata( ) procedures and methods are also supported for this transfer syntax.
