•Imager Pixel Spacing (0018,1164),
•Rows (0028,0010),
•Columns (0028,0011).
In the case where the Field of View has the same size as the stored Pixel Data (7FE0,0010) the following relationships are verified:
If the Field of View Shape (0018,1147) Attribute equals RECTANGLE:
•Field of View Dimensionsrow dimension = Imager Pixel Spacingrow spacing * Rows
•Field of View Dimensionscolumn dimension = Imager Pixel Spacingcolumn spacing * Columns
If the Field of View Shape (0018,1147) Attribute equals ROUND or HEXAGONAL:
•Field of View Dimensionsdiameter = Imager Pixel Spacingrow spacing * Rows
•Field of View Dimensionsdiameter = Imager Pixel Spacingcolumn spacing * Columns
The following Attributes define the relationship of the Field of View to the Physical Detector Area:
•Field of View Origin (0018,7030),
•Field of View Rotation (0018,7032),
•Field of View Horizontal Flip (0018,7034).
For the Digital X-Ray IODs, the Active Area, i.e., that part of the detector matrix that was activated for this exposure, is usually rect- angularinshape.TheshapeandsizeoftheActiveAreaandthesizeandspacingofthedetectorsaredefinedbythefollowingAttributes:
•Detector Active Shape (0018,7024),
•Detector Active Dimensions (0018,7026),
•Detector Element Physical Size (0018,7020),
•Detector Element Spacing (0018,7022).
Note
1.The Detector Element Physical Size (0018,7020) and Detector Element Spacing (0018,7022) may be different if there are insensitive regions between each detector.
2.This model of description is not able to accurately describe multiple matrices of detectors that are "tiled" to produce a single image.
The following optional Attribute defines the relationship of the Active Area to the Physical Detector Area:
•Detector Active Origin (0018,7028).
In the case where the Field of View has the same size as the stored Pixel Data (7FE0,0010), the relationship between detectors and stored image pixels is defined by Detector Binning (0018,701A), which specifies how many detectors, in each of the row and column directions, contribute to (are pooled or averaged to form) a single stored image pixel.
Note
1.Detector Binning (0018,701A) may have values less than one if sub-sampling is used to derive an image with higher spatial resolution than the detector matrix.
2.The detector binning results in the size of a stored image pixel being different from the contributing physical detector pixels. In this case it is important to notice that the Field Of View Origin (0018,7030) is defined with respect to the center of the detector element located at the TLHC of the Field of View.
