The process of derivation of a Parametric Map itself is defined not to be lossy compression, even though it involves loss. If the Para- metric Map instance is encoded using a lossy compression Transfer Syntax, then the value shall be set to "01".
Note
To state the obvious, it is not advisable to lossy compress a Parametric Map SOP Instance, since that will alter the quantit- ative values that are the intent of the object.
C.8.32.3 Parametric Map Functional Group Macros
The following sections contain Functional Group Macros specific to the Parametric Map IOD.
Note
The Attribute descriptions in the Functional Group Macros are written as if they were applicable to a single frame (i.e., the Macro is part of the Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence). If an Attribute is applicable to all frames (i.e., the Macro is part of the Shared Functional Groups Sequence) the phrase "this frame" in the Attribute description shall be interpreted to mean "for all frames".
