Patient name (PN vr)

@pieper, The patient name in the JSON model in dicomweb specifies PN with Alphabetic but when we get the JSON from dcmjs dict it doesn't have Alphabetic, it has the value directly, as in: "00100010": { "vr": "PN", "Value": [ "9810^42278" ] }, And we add the Alphabetic part when we are populating the result. I created a branch to handle both called fix/pm_vr but what is the correct representation? Do we need to fix it in dcmjs? or am I doing something wrong when I am getting the JSON?

Hi @emelalkim - I agree we should make the json dataset 100% conformant to the DICOM JSON Model. When it's broken out into those parts (Alphabetic, GivenName, etc) it's already in good shape for programmatic use, so no need to modify it during naturalization I think.
