6.4 VALUE MULTIPLICITY (VM) AND DELIMITATION
The Value Multiplicity of a Data Element specifies the number of Values that can be encoded in the Value
Field of that Data Element. The VM of each Data Element is specified explicitly in PS 3.6. If the number of
PS 3.5-2001
Page 24
Values that may be encoded in an element is variable, it shall be represented by two numbers separated
by a dash" e.g., "1-10" means that there may be 1 to 10 Values in the element.
Note: Elements having a multiplicity of "S", which represented "single", in versions of this standard preceding
V3.0, will have a multiplicity of "1" in this version of this standard.
When a Data Element has multiple Values, those Values shall be delimited as follows:
" For character strings, the character 5CH (BACKSLASH "\\" in the case of the repertoire ISO IR-
6) shall be used as a delimiter between Values.
Note: BACKSLASH ("\\") is used as a delimiter between character string Values that are of fixed length as well
as variable length.
" Multiple binary Values of fixed length shall be a series of concatenated Values without any
delimiter.
Each string Value in a multiple valued character string may be of even or odd length, but the length of the
entire Value Field (including "\\" delimiters) shall be of even length. If padding is required to make the Value
Field of even length, a single padding character shall be applied to the end of the Value Field (to the last
Value), in which case the length of the last Value may exceed the Length of Value by 1..
Note: A padding character may need to be appended to a fixed length character string value in the above
case.
Only the last UID Value in a multiple valued Data Element with a VR of UI shall be padded with a single
trailing NULL (00H) character when necessary to ensure that the entire Value Field (including "\\"
delimiters) is of even length.
Data Elements with a VR of SQ, OW, OB or UN shall always have a Value Multiplicity of one. |
