Many people wish to “merge” images to make print formats which the printer does not support, and this is possible, but a lot more work than simply asking the printer to do it for you!

Relational Queries have been in the DICOM standard since the start, but are supported by only about half the PACS in the world.

PresentationStates are normally saved as external files but sometimes people may want to store them within the associated DicomImage.

Why might C-MOVE not work in practice? It is very common for users new to DICOM and DicomObjects to find that they can get queries (C-FIND) working, but fail when they try to retrieve images using C-MOVE (Using either MoveImages or GetUsingMove).

A Private SOP Class is an object constructed and transmitted in the same basic way as an official DICOM SOP Class but with the contents defined by the creator of the private SOP class, rather than by DICOM.

Hanging protocols are a means of defining how images should initially be displayed to a user.
