C.8.16 Common CT, MR and US Descriptions
This section contains descriptions of Macros and Attributes used in Modules and Functional Group Macros that are common to the Enhanced CT Image, Enhanced MR Images, MR Spectroscopy and Enhanced US Volume IODs.
C.8.16.1 Image Type and Frame Type
ImageType(0008,0008)andassociatedImageTyperelatedAttributesprovideahighleveldescriptionofamulti-frameSOPInstance. These Attributes describe properties that provide key summary information to users of the SOP Instance. Image Type (0008,0008) contains the highest level summary of what is in the SOP Instance.
Frame Type (0008,9007) mirrors the corresponding Image Type Attribute and applies to the frame level rather than to the image level.
If more than one value is used by the set of frames for a given Frame Type (0008,9007) Attribute value or associated Attribute value then the corresponding value of Image Type (0008,0008) or associated Attribute shall contain a value of MIXED. This indicates that a mixed set of values exists within the multi-frame SOP Instance.
The value MIXED shall only be used in Image Type (0008,0008) when the corresponding values for the individual frames are not equal. When a value of an Attribute is equal for all frames, the same value shall be used for the corresponding value of Image Type (0008,0008). Values 2 and 3 of Image Type (0008,0008) are an exception to the rule for MIXED: Values 2 and 3 may never have the value of MIXED as described in Section C.8.16.1.2 and Section C.8.16.1.3.
Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007) shall consist of four values.
C.8.16.1.1 Pixel Data Characteristics
Value 1 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007) shall use one of the following Enumerated Values from Table C.8- 127.
Value 1 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Value 1 of Frame Type (0008,9007) shall not be zero length.
