Prev	9.3 Protocol	Next

The information necessary for the C-MOVE request and indication DIMSE-C primitives are conveyed in the C-MOVE-RQ Message. The information necessary for the C-MOVE response and confirmation DIMSE-C primitives are conveyed in the C-MOVE-RSP Message. The information necessary for the C-MOVE Cancel request and Cancel indication primitives are conveyed in the C-CANCEL-MOVE-RQ Message.
