Don't read Sup 53; it is obsolete; read part 16 of the standard instead.

The DCMR contains two main things:

- lists of codes (context groups) - so for example if one wants
the list of anatomic regions to fill in Anatomic Region Sequence
for CT and MR, the list is in context group 4030

- templates for Structured Reporting (and other) applications - so
for example if one wants to create a Basic Diagnostic Imaging Report
one would apply template 2000 to create an instance of a Basic Text
SR IOD - these templates are constructed in a similar manner to
the modules and macros of part 3.

The DCMR also contains synonyms for code meanings, translations of
code meanings, and definitions of DCM codes (i.e. those not from other
coding standards like SNOMED and LOINC).
