Note
A translation of (DX, DY, DZ) = (0, 0, 0) means that the Detector Reference Point Od is at the System Isocenter.
The case where the detector is stationary during image acquisition is a degenerate case, but still defined in the same manner.
Note
1.An angulation of (Ad1, Ad2) = (0, 0) means that the Detector is not rotated relative to the System Isocenter coordinate system.
2.A translation of (DX, DY, DZ) = (0, 0, 0) means that the Detector Reference Point Od is at the System Isocenter.
C.8.31.6.1.5 Detector Active Area Relationship
The image and planes in conventional mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis are expressed in relation to Detector FOV and Detector Active area (see C.8.11.4.1.1). As manufacturers design their systems differently, the detector may be mounted or po- sitioned differently in different breast imaging systems. As a result, the TLHC position of the Detector Active Area, together with row and column directions, must be specified (see Figure C.8.31.6-12). The relationship between the Detector Active Area TLHC, the row and column directions of the Active Area, and the Field of View and Detector Coordinate System (defined in C.8.31.6.1.4) is defined by two Attributes.
•Detector Active Area TLHC Position (0018,9557) specifies the x, y and z cooordinates in mm of the center of the pixel defined as Detector Active Area TLHC within the Detector coordinate system, where the Z-direction value is always 0 since the detector itself is in XdYd plane. A value of Detector Active Area TLHC Position (0018,9557) = (0,0,0) means that the Detector Active Area TLHC Position is at the origin Od of the Detector coordinate system.
•Detector Active Area Orientation (0018,9558) specifies the direction cosines of the first row followed by the direction cosines of the first column within the Detector coordinate system. The first three values contain the cosine of the angle between the first row and the Xd, Yd and Zd axes, respectively. The next three values contain the cosine of the angle between the first column and the Xd, Y d and Zd axes, respectively.
