Referring to my recent post about the DICOM standard, the list of all valid transfer syntaxes is shown below. A DICOM transfer syntax defines how DICOM objects are serialized to transmit them through a network or to save them into a file.
The DICOM transfer syntax is specified by the TransferSyntaxUID located in element number (0002, 0010). There exist 35 different DICOM transfer syntaxes, but 14 have been retired from earlier standard versions and will not be supported in future DICOM releases.
The 21 valid DICOM transfer syntaxes are listed in the following table :
