Enum: DICOMNetworkServiceEnum

Network services used to query, retrieve and store DICOM instances between imaging systems such as PACS, modalities and research archives. Includes the classic DIMSE (DICOM Message Service Element) services of PS3.7 and the RESTful DICOMweb services of PS3.18. Cataloguing which services a source repository supports is part of the data landscape assessment that precedes extraction.
