Explicit VR

Explicit VR: Explicit Value Representation, a transfer syntax which is negotiated by which the receiver is explicitly told the VR syntax and context. For example, when receiving a Patient Name using Explicit VR, the message specifies explicitly that VR for each attribute. This is in contrast to the Implicit VR.
