C.8.14.4.1 Spectroscopy Data
The Spectroscopy Data (5600,0020) Attribute contains the Signal intensities for the spectra. The order of voxels encoded for each spectral plane is left to right, top to bottom, i.e., the upper left voxel (labeled 1,1) is encoded first followed by the remainder of row 1, followed by the first voxel of row 2 (labeled 2,1) then the remainder of row 2 and so on. Each "voxel" represents an entire spectrum. The complete spectral data from each voxel is encoded, followed by the spectral data from the next voxel position.

Note
Either Rows or Columns or both may have a value of 1 (e.g., for single voxel spectroscopy). A value of zero for the corres- ponding value of Pixel Spacing in the Pixel Measures Macro is permitted under these circumstances. See Section 10.7.1.3.
The spectral data points are ordered from high frequencies to low frequencies for a fixed static magnetic field strength, in the case that the Signal Domain Columns (0028,9003) or Signal Domain Rows (0028,9235) Attributes contain the value FREQUENCY.
The spectral data points are ordered in sequence of increasing time in the case that the Signal Domain Columns (0028,9003) or Signal Domain Rows (0028,9235) Attributes contain the value TIME.
The apparent rotation of magnetization in a quadrature representation shall be counterclockwise (from the (positive) real part to the (positive) imaginary part) for positive relative frequencies.
Note
WhenComplextimedatapointsaretransformedbyastraightforwardFouriertransformationtocomplexspectraldatapoints, these are ordered from low frequency to high frequency.
Fortwo-dimensionalspectralacquisitions,theorderingissuchthatalldatapointsfromarow(correspondingtoalldatapointsacquired in an individual sampling period), are followed by all data points from the successive sampling period. Following all data of the rows fromagivenvoxelposition,thedatafromthesubsequentvoxelpositionareencoded.Theaxisparalleltotherowdirectioncorresponds to the sampling time axis. The axis parallel to the column direction corresponds to the evolution time axis.
The dimensions of each spectrum that make up a voxel are described by Data Point Rows (0028,9001) and Data Point Columns (0028,9002). In the case of 1D spectra, the number of Data Point Rows shall be 1.
For a Data Representation (0028,9108) value of COMPLEX, the order of data points is real channel followed by imaginary channel for each spectral data point. For the other Data Representation values (REAL, IMAGINARY and MAGNITUDE), each spectral data point contains only a single value.
