Engineering Notes
The largest element in most DICOM files. For compressed images, contains encapsulated pixel data with item delimiters. For uncompressed, a continuous octet stream. VR is OB for compressed, OW for uncompressed 16-bit.
Troubleshooting
Pixel data length must match Rows × Columns × BitsAllocated/8 × SamplesPerPixel (× NumberOfFrames for multiframe). Any mismatch indicates file corruption or encoding error.
