AFAIK there's no boolean value representation, and I need to specify a boolean true/false in a private tag. I thought of a <code>SH</code> (SHort string), saying <code>TRUE</code> or <code>FALSE</code>. Is there a standard or widely used way to specify it?

You can use a Coded String (CS) VR with <code>TRUE</code> and <code>FALSE</code> as coded values. This is done in the standard for the <code>Time of Flight Information Used</code> element (0018, 9755) in the enhanced PET acquisition module.

What's the best value representation for boolean in DICOM?
