DICOM Message Service Element, the DICOM set of commands. The composite commands operate on objects that are composed of several real world entities. It is not possible to delete a composite object using DICOM commands.

The Composite commands are :

C_Store
C_Find
C_Get
C_Move
C_Echo
A normalized object, however, consists of a single real world entity and is temporary, used for a single purpose, and then deleted. A normalized object study can be created, set, and even deleted using the normalized services. It also shows up as part of the composite study object to identify to which study the image belongs.

The Normalized commands provide two types of operations :

Notification service, that has the N_Event_Report command,
Operation services, that include
N_Get
N_Set
N_Action
N_Create
N_Delete
