Attribute Description |
MR Diffusion Sequence |
(0018,9117) |
1 |
Identifies the diffusion parameters of this frame. |
|
|
|
Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence. |
>Diffusion b-value |
(0018,9087) |
1C |
Diffusion sensitization factor in sec/mm2. This is the actual b-value for |
|
|
|
original frames and those derived from frames with the same b-value, |
|
|
|
or the most representative b-value when derived from images with |
|
|
|
different b-values. |

May be present otherwise. |
>Diffusion Directionality |
(0018,9075) |
1C |
Specifies whether diffusion conditions for the frame are directional, or |
|
|
|
isotropic with respect to direction. |
|
|

>Diffusion b-matrix |
(0018,9601) |
1C |
The directional diffusion sensitization expressed as a 3x3 matrix with |
Sequence |
|
|
diagonal symmetry (with six unique elements from which the other |
|
|
|
elements can be derived). |
|
|
|
The rows and columns of the matrix are the X (right to left), Y (anterior |
|
|
|
to posterior) and Z (foot to head) patient-relative orthogonal axes as |
|
|
|
defined in Section C.7.6.2.1.1. |
|
|
|
The values are in units of ms/mm2. |
|
|
|
Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence. |
|
|
|
Required if Diffusion Directionality (0018,9075) equals BMATRIX. |

(0018,9602) |
1 |
The value of b[X,X]. |
>>Diffusion b-value XY |
(0018,9603) |
1 |
The value of b[X,Y]. |
>>Diffusion b-value XZ |
(0018,9604) |
1 |
The value of b[X,Z]. |
>>Diffusion b-value YY |
(0018,9605) |
1 |
The value of b[Y,Y]. |
>>Diffusion b-value YZ |
(0018,9606) |
1 |
The value of b[Y,Z]. |
