This value set contains 5 concepts

Warning: this expansion is generated from a fragment of the code system Media Type and may be missing codes, or include codes that are not valid

Expansion based on Media Type v2.1.0 (CodeSystem)

All codes from system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-mediaType

Code	Display	Definition
image/g3fax	G3Fax Image	This is recommended only for fax applications.
image/gif	GIF Image	GIF is a popular format that is universally well supported. However GIF is patent encumbered and should therefore be used with caution.
image/jpeg	JPEG Image	This format is required for high compression of high color photographs. It is a "lossy" compression, but the difference to lossless compression is almost unnoticeable to the human vision.
image/png	PNG Image	Portable Network Graphics (PNG) \[http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png\] is a widely supported lossless image compression standard with open source code available.
image/tiff	TIFF Image	Although TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is an international standard it has many interoperability problems in practice. Too many different versions that are not handled by all software alike.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance)

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
