10 Miscellaneous Macros
10.1 Person Identification Macro
This Macro may be invoked to specify a coded representation of a person such as a healthcare worker, and the organization to which they are responsible.
Note
1.This Macro is typically invoked within a Sequence Item used to identify an individual such as a physician or a device operator.
2.The free-text name of the individual is not included in this Macro since there are already widely used specific Attributes to hold such values.
3.No Baseline, Defined or Enumerated CIDs are defined nor is any particular coding scheme specified. In practice, workers are usually identified by using a locally or nationally specific coding scheme. For example, a local Coding Scheme Designator might be used and the individual's internal hospital ID number user in Code Value.
4.The organization is specified by either a coded Sequence or a free text name but not both. A Baseline CID of standard organizations is provided for the purpose of identifying standard organizations responsible for creation of well known instances.

The Code Meaning Attribute, though it will be encoded with a VR of |

|

LO, may be encoded according to the rules of the PN VR (e.g., caret |
|
|
|
'^' delimiters shall separate name components), except that a single |
|
|
|
component (i.e., the whole name unseparated by caret delimiters) is |
|
|
|
not permitted. Name component groups for use with multi-byte |
|
|
|
character sets are permitted, as long as they fit within the 64 |
|
|
|
characters (the length of the LO VR). |
|
|
|
One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence. |

Note
1.This Attribute may have internal format or structure in accordance with local agreement or profile. In the absence of such agreement or prior formatting, use of ITU-T E.123 is suggested.
2.It is recommended that this Attribute be treated as equivalent to HL7v2 (v2.5 or later) field ROL-12, and be formatted in accordance with the HL7v2 XTN data type (without escapes for HL7 message structure reservedcharacters).SeeadditionalnotesintheModule invoking this Macro.

10.2 Content Item Macro
A Content Item is a flexible means of encoding attribute identifiers and attribute values using the Code Sequence Macro (see Section 8) for coded terminology defined by a coding scheme. The Content Item provides a name-value pair, i.e., a Concept Name, encoded as a Code Sequence, and a Concept Value. The Concept Value may be encoded by any of a set of generic Attributes, as specified by a Value Type, including text, personal name, numeric, and coded concept (Code Sequence) values.
Note
1.Comparing a Content Item to a native DICOM Data Element, the Concept Name Code Sequence corresponds to the Data Element Tag and Attribute Name, the Value Type to the Value Representation, and the Concept Value to the Data Element Value Field. See PS3.5.
2.The IMAGE Value Type of this Macro does not include the Type 3 Attributes of the IMAGE Value Type defined in Sec- tion C.17.3, as they are not required for Acquisition Context or Protocol Context Content Items.
Specific uses of the Content Item may invoke the Content Item Macro defined in this Section, the Document Content Macro of Sec- tion C.17.3, or another similar construct. An invocation of the Content Item Macro may constrain the allowed values of Value Type (0040,A040).
Note
1.TheNUMERICValueTypeofthisMacrodiffersfromtheNUMValueTypedefinedinSectionC.17.3,sincetheencoding of the Concept Value is different.
2.The Value Type uses Enumerated Values so as to assure that non-standard Value Types are not used, and to prevent the nefarious use, for example, of a CONTAINER Value Type in an SR-like manner to create nested content, which is not the intent.
3.Some invocations of this Macro may use the Content Item Modifier Sequence (0040,0441) to achieve a single level of "nesting". That Attribute is not included in this Macro itself, to prevent recursive inclusion.
See Section 5.4 for the meaning of the Type column in this Macro when applied to Normalized IODs.
