3.17 Multi-dimensional Definitions
Reference Coordinate System |
TheRCSisthespatialcoordinatesysteminaDICOMFrameofReference.Itisthechosenorigin, |
(RCS) |
orientation and spatial scale of an Image IE in a Cartesian space. The RCS is a right-handed |
|
Cartesiancoordinatesystemi.e.,thevectorcrossproductofaunitvectoralongthepositivex-axis |
|
and a unit vector along the positive y-axis is equal to a unit vector along the positive z-axis. The |
|
unit length is one millimeter. Typically, the Image IE contains a spatial mapping that specifies the |
|
relationship of the image samples to the Cartesian spatial domains of the RCS. |
Ophthalmic Coordinate System |
The Ophthalmic Coordinate System is used as the Frame of Reference that establishes the |
(OCS) |
spatial relationship relative to the corneal vertex. The corneal vertex is the point located at the |
|
intersection of the patient's line of sight (visual axis) and the corneal surface. See |
|
Section C.8.30.3.1.4 for further explanation. |
Fiducial |

to establish the spatial relationship between similar objects. |
Fiducial Point |
A Fiducial Point defines a specific location of a Fiducial. A Fiducial Point is relative to an image |
|
or to an RCS. |
Multi-Planar Reconstruction |
Also called Multi-Planar Reformatting. A data visualization created by sampling volume data, |
(MPR) |
typically represented by a stack of image planes, that lies in the neighborhood of the intersection |
|
of the volume with a plane, curved plane, slab or curved slab. |
Planar Multi-Planar |
An MPR where the samples are centered on a single plane intersected with the volume. |
Reconstruction (Planar MPR) |
|
Volumetric Presentation State |
A Presentation State that defines a transformation from 3D spatial input data (volume) to 2D |
(VPS) |
spatial output data, with or without affecting other dimensions such as temporal. |
Volumetric Presentation State |
The Reference Coordinate System to which inputs to a Volumetric Presentation State are |

(VPS-RCS) |
stated otherwise). |
Volumetric Presentation View |
A presentation, with two spatial dimensions, of volume data. |

The definition is "specific hardware/medium used to display images presented through |
|
an analogue or digital interface". |

3.20 Device Identification Definitions |
|
Unique Device Identifier (UDI) |
An alphanumeric identifier issued by the unique device identification system established by the |
|
FDA to label and identify devices through distribution and use. See http://www.fda.gov/udi. |

Content Item |
A node in the Content Tree of a DICOM SR document, consisting of either a container with a |
|
coded Concept Name, or a name-value pair with a coded Concept Name and a Concept Value. |
Content Tree |
The tree of Content Items of a DICOM SR document. |
3.22 Miscellaneous Definitions Definitions |
|
Externally-Sourced Data Set |
A collection of data that has been obtained from or is defined by an entity separate from the |
|
system creating an object. |
