whenever i make an annotation using the AIM plugin, the annotation file is stored locally somewhere in My Documents in xml format. When i send the study to a PACS server after annotating using the AIM plugin, the annotations are not sent and hence cannot be viewed another person downloading the study at a later point. Is this correct ?

i found the answer... the AIM annotation information is also included in studyXml.xml and a dicom file for the annotation is also created in the filestore which is sent to pacs when the entire study i sent.
