[Dicom format] - more than one study in a single file ?

#1 Post by dake »

Hello

Just wondering about something. Can a single DICOM file contains more than one study ? I'm a bit confused with the VM (value multiplicity) attribute of some tags. In that case, how to navigate between the studies stored in this single dcm file ?

I checked the Dicom information model and a "Patient IOD" references 1-n "Study IOD". Does that reflect the actual structure of the binary file ?

No. Never ever.
