| Note: Only non-private study comments are exported to a CD or DVD with the study. When a study is exported, it contains two study comments formats: a single string and XML. It is up to the receiver to chose which format; however, IMPAX systems prior to 6.5 and third-party PACS receive the string format from the study comments section of the DICOM header. |
