C.8.33.2.1 Tractography Results Module Attributes
This Module encodes one or more Track Sets, each of which consists of one or more Tracks, each of which is defined by one or more points.ForeachTrack,optionallyoneormoremeasurementsmaybedefined,eitherforeverypointorasubsetofpoints.Measurements aredescribedbycodedtypeandunit.ForeachTrackand/orTrackSet,summarystatisticsderivedfrommeasurementsmaybeincluded (whether or not the actual measurements are encoded).
When a measurement (i.e., an Item of Measurements Sequence (0066,0121) ) is encoded for every point in a track, then Floating Point Values (0066,0125) contains the corresponding values for every point. When a measurement is encoded for a subset of points, then Floating Point Values (0066,0125) contains measurement values for the points in Point Coordinates Data (0066,0016) which are referenced in Track Point Index List (0066,0129).
More than one Measurements Sequence (0066,0121) Item may be used, for example to encode different types of measurements, such as Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), or to encode different components of a measurement thatisatuple,e.g.,adiffusiontensor.Inthelattercase,whichcomponent,andwhichtensor,willbeidentifiedbythefullypre-coordinated code in the Concept Name Code Sequence (0040,A043).
Within one Track Set the different types of measurements or statistics must be the same for all Tracks within that set (i.e., it is not allowed to store one track to a set that does not contain a measurement of a specific type in case all other tracks within that set do).
