A single Functional Group shall not be included in both the Shared Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9229) and the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9230).
Note
1.In the case of a SOP Instance containing a single frame, some Functional Groups may be contained in the Shared Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9229) and others in the one Item of the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9230).
2.Even if there are no Functional Groups in the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9230) an empty Item is encoded for every frame, which an IOD is permitted to specify for a Type 1 Sequence, as described in PS3.5, unless allItemsforallframesareempty,inwhichcasethePer-frameFunctionalGroupsSequence(5200,9230)maybeentirely omitted.
ItmayhappenthattheDataSetfortheItemofaFunctionalGroupSequenceAttributedoesnotcontainanyAttributes(e.g.,acondition for a single Type 1C Attribute in the Sequence is not met). In this case, the Item is included but is empty.
Note
PS3.5 describes that an empty Item is permitted for a Type 1 or Type 2 Sequence depending on what the IOD in PS3.3 defines for the Data Set that is defined for that Sequence Item.
It may happen that a Functional Group Sequence Attribute is not required for a particular frame (e.g., an optional Functional Group). In this case the Functional Group Sequence Attribute is not included in the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9230) Item for that frame.
Note
The absence of the Sequence Attribute corresponding to a particular Functional Group indicates that the Functional Group is not used for a particular frame.
Private Functional Groups may be defined. The Attributes of such a group may be Standard or Private Attributes. A Private Functional Group may not replicate the Attributes of a Standard Functional Group.
A Private Functional Group can be added to either the Shared Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9229) or the Per-frame Functional
Groups Sequence (5200,9230).
C.7.6.16.1.2 Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence
The Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence Attribute (5200,9230) consists of a Sequence of Items. Each Item describes the frame of the same rank in the multi-frame pixel data. The first Item describes frame 1, the second Item describes frame 2, etc. Frames are implicitly numbered starting from 1. See Figure C.7.6.16-1.
