6.2.3.8. Burned in Annotation (0028,0301)

According to DICOM, burned in annotation indicates whether or not an image contains sufficient burned in annotation to identify the patient and date the image was acquired. If this Attribute is absent, then the image may or may not contain burned in annotation.

For orthodontic purposes, conventionally photographs do not contain any burned in annotations. If this were the case for your software, this value could always be present and set to NO.
