What are DICOM Tags?

A DICOM file (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) stores medical images together with a structured metadata header. This header consists of standardized data elements (tags), each identified by a unique 4-byte code in the format (GGGG,EEEE) — group and element number — followed by a Value Representation (VR), length, and value. Tags encode everything from patient demographics to acquisition parameters and device identifiers.
