    Remarks
    This method negotiates an association, sends one dataset over it, and then closes it. DICOM does not allow SCPs to draw any conclusion about the relationships between images based on the opening and closing of associations, so this should never be a problem (apart from slight network inefficiency). However, there are several badly written applications in the world, which incorrectly assume that the end of an association indicates the end of a series or a study etc., and if interfacing to such a faulty implementation, it is possible to send multiple images on one association by using DicomAssociation object, and its SendInstances methods.
    Requirements
