2.For a multi-frame image set, it is the responsibility of the application to apply the sorting operations to individual frames within a multi-frame image instance in the image set, versus multiple single-frame image instances in the image set that represent individual frames.
C.23.3.1.3 Blending Operation Type
ABlendingOperationType(0072,0500)ofCOLORimpliesthatthefilteredselectedimagesetcontainstwosetsofimagesappropriate for blending, such as CT and PET images defined in the same Frame of Reference or associated by a spatial registration object. The decision as to which subset are the underlying images and which subset are the superimposed images is left to the discretion of the display application. There is no mechanism to explicitly specify the two subsets.
The relative opacity and color-related aspects of blending are not specified by the Hanging Protocol, and are left to the discretion of the application.
C.23.3.1.4 Presentation Intent Attributes
The Attributes that indicate the presentation intent for each Display Set of a Hanging Protocol Instance are: Display Set Patient Ori- entation (0072,0700), VOI Type (0072,0702), Pseudo-color Type (0072,0704), Show Grayscale Inverted (0072,0706), Show Image True Size Flag (0072,0710), Show Graphic Annotation Flag (0072,0712), Show Patient Demographics Flag (0072,0714), and Show Acquisition Techniques Flag (0072,0716).
•If one Presentation State instance is defined for the images that are to be displayed, then it shall be applied.
•IfmorethanonePresentationStateinstanceisdefinedfortheimagesthataretobedisplayed,thenthepresentationintentAttributes, if present, shall be used to select the closest matching Presentation State instance to apply (for example, matching VOI Type (0072,0702)intheHangingProtocolInstancewithWindowCenter&WidthExplanationinthePresentationStateinstance).Otherwise, the application shall determine which Presentation State instance to apply.
•IfnoPresentationStateinstanceisdefinedfortheimagesthataretobedisplayed,thenthepresentationintentAttributes,ifpresent, shall be applied (for example, matching VOI Type (0072,0702) in the Hanging Protocol Instance with Window Center & Width Ex- planation in the Image). Otherwise, the display related information in the image instances shall be applied.
The intent of VOI Type (0072,0702) is to support generic intensity window settings for the Display Sets in a Hanging Protocol, such as lung, soft tissue, or bone for chest CT. It is expected for most other modalities that the window/center or VOI LUT values, if not providedinaPresentationStateinstance,wouldbeprovidedintheimageinstanceratherthanbyintentinaHangingProtocolInstance.

Note
1.Forexample,animagemayhaveaMONOCHROME2PhotometricInterpretation(0028,0004)andnoPresentationLUT Shape (2050,0020), which implies that maximum values are displayed with maximum available luminance, but the presence of a Show Grayscale Inverted (0072,0706) value of YES in the Hanging Protocol requires maximum values to be displayed with minimum available luminance.
2.For example, an image may have an applicable Presentation State with a Presentation LUT Shape (2050,0020) of IDENTITY, which implies that maximum values are displayed with maximum available luminance, but the presence of aShowGrayscaleInverted(0072,0706)valueofYESintheHangingProtocolrequiresmaximumvaluestobedisplayed with minimum available luminance.
3.For example, an image may have an applicable Presentation State with a Presentation LUT, in which case the minimum possible LUT output value (i.e., 0) will be interpreted as maximum available luminance if the value of Show Grayscale Inverted (0072,0706) is YES.
The intent of Display Set Patient Orientation (0072,0700) is to describe the preferred image rotation and/or flip for presentation within an image box. Each of the two values shall be an anatomic direction designated by the capital letters: A (anterior), P (posterior), R (right),L(left),H(head),F(foot),orX(unspecified).EachvalueoftheorientationAttributeshallcontainatleastoneofthesecharacters. If refinements in the orientation descriptions are to be specified, then they shall be designated by one or two additional letters in each value. Within each value, the letters shall be ordered with the principal orientation designated in the first character. If the value "X" is used for one of the values, the patient direction for that value is not defined.
