+
+This section is an abbreviated DICOM conformance statement for gdcm.
+<BR>
+It specifies the compliance of gdcm to file reading/writing
+support to the

+ dicom base standard <B>part 5</B></A>.
+<BR>
+Gdcm <B>does not contain or support any of the DICOM services</B>
+such as Storage, Query/Retrieve, Print, Verification...

+<H2> Note on odd length data elements</H2>
+
+The Dicom Standard PS 3.5 (Data Structures and Encoding) specifies that
+the data element values which make up a DICOM data stream must be padded
+to an even length.
+<BR>
+Gdcm will <B>tolerate</B> an incorrectly formed odd length data field while
+<B>reading</B> (thus not enforcing the standard).
+<BR>
+But gdcm will allways <B>enforce</B> the standard while <B>writing</B>.
+
+<!##############################################>
+<H2> Note on undefined Value Representations</H2>
+
+If gdcm encounters an undefined VR (either because in a private group,
+or because it corresponds to an undocumented public dictionary entry
+when in implicit VR) while reading a file, it will set that data
+element's VR to be UN (unknown).
+
+<!##############################################>
+<H2>Note on retired and private data elements</H2>
+
+Certain data elements are no longer supported under the v3.0 of the DICOM
+standard but persist as retired element. Gdcm will consider those
+elements as standard data element, except that the tag name will be postfixed
+with the "(RET)" string.
