L ZIP File Over Email Interchange Profiles (Normative)

This Annex defines three Media Storage Application Profiles for interchange of a DICOM Data Set, encapsulated in a ZIP File, through email.

Two Media Storage Application Profiles support all defined Media Storage SOP Classes. These are intended to be used for the interchange of Composite SOP Instances via email for general purpose applications. Objects from multiple modalities may be included on the same email. The email may also include non-DICOM objects. One of these general profiles supports encryption of the email.

A detailed list of the Media Storage SOP Classes is defined in PS3.4

The other Media Storage Application Profile is specialized for dental applications and adds mandatory requirements for dental images to the general secure email profile.

The specific Media Storage Application Profiles are shown in Table L.1-1:
