## X.2 Clinical Context

Section X.2 of the Application Profile shall describe the clinical need for the interchange of medical images and related information on storage media, and its context of application. This section shall not require any specific functionality of the Application Entities exchanging information using media interchange beyond their capabilities in the roles of File-set Creator, File-set Reader, and File-set Updater.

### Note

This Section does not, for example, place any graphical presentation or performance requirements on workstations that read DICOM interchange media. Such requirements are beyond the scope of a DICOM Media Storage Application Profile. The requirements that fall within the scope of an Application Profile are the specific functional storage media interchange capabilities associated with the defined roles.
