  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Protocol Element Purpose
  Type: 3
  Attribute Description:

  Description of the purpose this element serves in the protocol.

  Note

  1. This is intended for use by the radiologist, technologist and/or physicist during management of the Protocol to understand the purpose the Protocol Element serves in the Protocol.

  2. It is not intended to be copied into the Series Description. Rather there is an Attribute in the Performed Storage Module called Requested Series Description (0018,9937) that is intended to be copied into the Series Description of the stored Instances.
