Value Representation "Unlimited Text"
A character string that may contain one or more
paragraphs. It may contain the Graphic Character set and the
Control Characters, CR, LF, FF, and ESC. It may be padded with
trailing spaces, which may be ignored, but leading spaces are
considered to be significant. Data Elements with this VR shall
not be multi-valued and therefore character code 5CH (the
BACKSLASH "\" in ISO-IR 6) may be used.
Character Set: Default Character Repertoire and/or as defined by
(0008,0005).
Size Restriction(s): 232 - 2
Note:
limited only by the size
of the maximum unsigned integer representable in a 32 bit VL field
minus one, since FFFFFFFFH is reserved.
