DICOM Terms and Abbreviations |
Implicit VR: Implicit Value Representation, a transfer syntax which is negotiated by which the receiver is assumed ("implied") to know the VR syntax and context. For example, when receiving a Patient Name using Implicit VR, it is assumed that the receiver know the VR rules for that attribute. This is in contrast to the Explicit VR.
