Note
It is permissible to generate a vector of the absolute positioner angles in the Positioner Angle Increment Attributes, and set the Positioner Primary and Secondary Angle Attributes to value 0.
C.8.7.5.1.4 Detector Primary and Secondary Angles
Detector Angles are defined in a fashion similar to the positioner angles, except that the angle of the central X-Ray beam vector is relative to the Detector Plane rather than the Patient Plane. The central X-Ray beam vector is defined as the vector from the X-Ray source through the isocenter to the detector plane. Zero degree is referenced to the normal to the detector plane pointing away from theX-Raysource.TheDetectorAngleAttributesapplytothefirstframeofamulti-frameimage.ThevalidrangeoftheDetectorAngles is -90 to + 90 degrees.
The Primary Axis of rotation is defined along the line in the column direction of the detector plane that intersects the central X-Ray beam vector. The Detector Primary Angle is defined in the plane perpendicular to the Primary Axis of rotation at the point where the centralX-Raybeamvectorintersectsthedetectorplane,withzerodegreesinthedirectionnormaltothedetectorplaneand-90degrees at the left hand side of the image (i.e., toward column 1) and +90 at the right hand side of the image (i.e., toward the highest numbered column). The valid range of Primary Detector Angle is -90 to +90 degrees.
The Secondary Axis is in the detector plane and is perpendicular to the Primary Axis at the intersection of the beam vector with the detectorplane(i.e.,itisalongtherowdirection).TheDetectorSecondaryAngleisdefinedintheplaneperpendiculartotheSecondary Axis at the point where the central X-Ray beam vector intersects the detector plane, with zero degrees in the direction normal to the detector plane. +90 degrees corresponds to the direction toward the top of the image. The Secondary Detector Angle range is -90 to + 90 degrees.
