Look in:
   -- ACR-NEMA Standard Publication for Digital Imaging and
      Communications.  Washington, DC, NEMA Publication no. 300, 1985.

this is the complete description of the standard,  how to transmit an
image across an interface.  It also describes the "commmon image data
format" which required...  for a short description see:

   -- Chris Spilker, The ACR-NEMA Digital Imaging and Communications Standard:
      A Nontechnical Description.  Journal of Digital Imaging, Vol 2,
      No. 3 (August), 1988:pp 127-131.

hope this helps....
