Transfer Syntax: Encoding
specification of DICOM messages,
negotiated while setting up an
Association. Examples of different
transfer syntaxes are Little
or Big Endian,
Implicit or
Explicit VR,
or a compression scheme (JPEG).
How objects should be encoded; can be
standard and/or private. A set of
encoding rules that allow Application
Entities to unambiguously negotiate the
encoding techniques (e.g., Data Element
structure, byte ordering, compression)
they are able to support, thereby
allowing these Application Entities to
communicate.
