Note
1.Display of images using Blending Softcopy Presentation State must use indirect SOP Instance reference through the Referenced Presentation State Sequence (0008,9237) at the top level of Structured Display Image Box Sequence (0072,0422)Item,andcannotusetheReferencedPresentationStateSequencewithinanItemoftheReferencedImage Sequence (0008,1140).
2.A Blending Presentation State that references a blending of a single underlying frame and a single superimposed frame may be associated with a SINGLE Image Box Layout.
3.Areferencetoasingledisplayframe,eitherdirectlythroughReferencedImageSequenceorindirectlythroughReferenced Presentation State Sequence, may be associated with either a STACK or a CINE Image Box Layout as a degenerate case.
4.There is no requirement for the pixel matrix sizes of the images in the stack, or the image display area as selected by referenced Presentation State SOP Instances, to be identical, nor for the referenced images to be of the same SOP Class.
5.Referenced Presentation States are an initial presentation control. The rendering Application Entity might allow a user to interactively enable/disable graphic layers, or change the zoom, rotation, window width / window level, or other presentation controls. Any such Application Entity functionality is beyond the scope of the Standard.
C.11.17.1.3 Referenced Instance Sequence
The Referenced Instance Sequence (0008,114A) references a non-Image SOP Instance, e.g., a Structured Report, Waveform, or Encapsulated Document SOP Instance, to be displayed in the image box. For such object references, the value of Image Box Layout Type (0072,0304) shall be SINGLE, even if displaying the object will require scrolling or paging (e.g., a multi-page encapsulated document).
C.11.17.1.4 Referenced Stereometric Instance Sequence
TheReferencedStereometricInstanceSequence(0008,1134)referencesaStereometricSOPInstance,whoseStereoPairsSequence (0022,0020) references image pairs to be displayed in the Image Box. The number of image pairs referenced for display shall be consistent with the value of Image Box Layout Type (0072,0304). If the value of Image Box Layout Type is SINGLE, only a single pair of frames shall be referenced by the Stereo Pairs Sequence in the referenced stereometric instance; if the value is CINE, only a single pair of multi-frame SOP Instances shall be referenced; if the value is STACK, one or more pairs may be referenced constituting a stack to be displayed in the Image Box, and the order of stepping through the stack shall be the order of Items in the Stereo Pairs Sequence. The manner in which a stereo pair is rendered is unspecified.
Note
1.While theStereometricIODallows referencetomultiplepairsofmulti-framecineInstances,the CINE ImageBox Layout does not support the display of more than one (a "stack" of cines).
2.Display of stereo pairs typically requires specialized hardware (e.g., polarizing filters and shutter glasses).
C.11.17.1.5 Type of Synchronization
Type of Synchronization (0072,0434) specifies the method for synchronizing the display of images in two or more Image Boxes linked through the Synchronized Image Box List (0072,0432).

POSITIONStepping of frames in one Image Box is synchronized by the stepping of frames in the other Image Boxes to effect an identicalrelativepositionaloffsetwithinthePatient-BasedCoordinateSystem.Thispresumesthatthereferencedimages includesImagePosition(Patient)(0020,0032)andImageOrientation(Patient)(0020,0037)Attributes,andthatthestacks have approximately the same orientation relative to the Patient-Based Coordinate System.
TIME Playback of frames in one Image Box is synchronized by the playback of frames in the other Image Boxes to effect an identical temporal offset from the original displayed frame. This presumes that the referenced images include Frame Time (0018,1063), Frame Time Vector (0018,1065), or Frame Reference DateTime (0018,9151). It also presumes that
