The IVUS imaging catheter is positioned in the blood vessel under examination near the anatomical structures |
to be examined. Then the catheter is manually withdrawn or advanced through the vessel region of interest. GATED_PULLBACKTheIVUSimagingcatheterispositionedinthebloodvesselunderexaminationdistaltotheanatomicalstructures to be examined. Then the catheter is attached to a motorized mechanism capable of withdrawing the catheter through the vessel at a rate specified by the Attribute IVUS Gated Rate (0018,3102), once per heart cycle, from the defined IVUS Pullback Start Frame Number (0018,3103) (see Section C.8.5.6.1.24) to the IVUS
Pullback Stop Frame Number (0018,3104) (see Section C.8.5.6.1.25).
C.8.5.6.1.22 IVUS Pullback Rate
TheAttributeIVUSPullbackRate(0018,3101)isrequiredwhenIVUSAcquisition(0018,3100)isMOTOR_PULLBACKanditspecifies the velocity of withdrawal of the IVUS imaging catheter in millimeters per second.
C.8.5.6.1.23 IVUS Gated Rate
The Attribute IVUS Gated Rate (0018,3102) is required when IVUS Acquisition (0018,3100) is GATED_PULLBACK and it specifies the velocity of withdrawal of the IVUS imaging catheter in millimeters per beat.
C.8.5.6.1.24 IVUS Pullback Start Frame Number
The IVUS Pullback Start Frame Number (0018,3103) specifies the frame number of a IVUS multi-frame acquisition upon which mo- torized or gated pullback begins.
C.8.5.6.1.25 IVUS Pullback Stop Frame Number
The IVUS Pullback Stop Frame Number (0018,3104) specifies the frame number of a IVUS multi-frame acquisition upon which mo- torized or gated pullback ends.
C.8.5.6.1.26 Lesion Number
Attribute Lesion Number identifies the lesion(s) of interest imaged within the current SOP Instance. Each lesion shall have a unique numeric integer identifier within the Study. If during a Study the same lesion is imaged more than once, the same Lesion Number should be used for both SOP Instances.
Note
1.Lesion Number is not a DICOM UID.
2.An IVUS pullback may contain multiple values in Lesion Number.
