Where: Y1 is contained in the data portion of this segment.
During expansion, the application should "connect" the previous segment's endpoint, (Xo, Yo), with this segment's endpoint, (Xo+ Segment Length, Y1) using a straight line, by computing the values for each point between the endpoints.
Note
Because the linear segment uses the end point from the previous segment, a linear segment can not be the first segment.
The linear segment's format shall be as in Table C.7-26.

C.7.9.2.3 Indirect Segment Type
Theindirectsegmentallowsthere-useofrepetitiveregionswithinlookuptablewithoutrespecifyingthesegment.Theopcodeisfollowed by the number of segments to copy and one offset pointer to the first segment to copy. The byte offset is relative to the beginning of the lookup table. For example, if an indirect segment wants to point to the first segment, then the offset will be zero. The offset is a 32 bit value but is stored in the segment as a least significant 16 bit value followed by a most significant 16 bit value. An indirect segment shall not point to or copy another indirect segment. This avoids the need for recursion and also avoids the possibility of in- finite loops.
The indirect segment's format shall be as follows:

Segment Opcode = 2
Number of segments to copy
Least significant 16 bits of byte offset to first segment to copy
Most significant 16 bits of byte offset to first segment to copy
C.8 Modality Specific Modules
C.8.1 Computed Radiography Modules
This Section describes Computed Radiography Series and Image Modules. These Modules contain Attributes that are specific to Computed Radiography images. There is no Computed Radiography Equipment Module.
C.8.1.1 CR Series Module
Table C.8-1 contains IOD Attributes that describe a computed radiography Series performed on the patient.
