C.7.6.21 Image - Equipment Coordinate Relationship Module
This section describes the Image - Equipment Coordinate Relationship Module. Table C.7.6.21-1 contains the Attributes that specify how the equipment (e.g., gantry) and patient oriented coordinate system (in conjunction with Image Position (Patient) (0020,0032) and Image Orientation (Patient) (0020,0037) Attributes) are related.

C.7.6.21.1 Image to Equipment Mapping Matrix
The Image to Equipment Mapping Matrix (0028,9520) is used to describe the relationship between the patient oriented coordinate system and a modality specific equipment coordinate system. This mapping can only be used with systems that have a well-defined equipment coordinate system (such as XA, etc.).

The Image to Equipment Mapping Matrix is a rigid transformation that involves only translations and rotations. Mathematically, the matrix shall be orthonormal and can describe six degrees of freedom: three translations, and three rotations.
Note
Both the Patient-Based Coordinate System and the Equipment-Based Coordinate System are expressed in millimeters.
C.7.6.21.2 Equipment Coordinate System Identification
The Equipment Coordinate System Identification (0028,9537) identifies the Reference Coordinate System to which the Image to Equipment Mapping Matrix (0028,9520) is related.
The Defined Term ISOCENTER refers to a coordinate reference system where the origin corresponds with the center of rotation of the projections.
