F.6 Special Directory Records
F.6.1 Private Directory Record Definition
Private Directory Records may also be used in addition to Standard defined Directory Records. Such Private Records shall follow the specification of Section F.2 and Section F.3. In addition, if created by File-set Creators they shall be proper extensions to the DICOM Basic Directory IOD Information Model specified in Section F.4. By proper extensions it is meant that any File-set Creator creating private Directory Records shall still meet the PS3.10 conformance requirements. Thus a File-set Reader or File-set Updater that chooses to ignore such privately defined Directory Records will find a conformant Directory.
F.6.2 Multi-referenced File Directory Record Definition
Retired. See PS3.3-2004.
F.7 Icon Image Key Definition
An Icon Image may be used as a key representative of an Image, RT Dose, Spectroscopy, Raw Data or Series in a corresponding Directory Record to allow an application to display icons that enable a user to select one or more from amongst several of them. It is based on the general purpose Image Pixel Macro (see Annex C).
The Icon Image Key corresponds to Data Element (0088,0200). It is defined as a Sequence that contains a single Item encapsulating the Data Set made of the Data Elements of the Icon Image. The Data Elements are defined by the Image Pixel Macro (see Sec- tion C.7.6.3).
The Image Pixel Macro usage is restricted in a few areas to facilitate general use in Directory Record across various modality envir- onments. These restrictions are:
a.Only monochrome and palette color images shall be used. Samples per Pixel (0028,0002) shall have a Value of 1, Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) shall have a Value of either MONOCHROME 1, MONOCHROME 2 or PALETTE COLOR, Planar Configuration (0028,0006) shall not be present.
Note
True color icon images are not supported. This is due to the fact that the reduced size of the Icon Image makes the quality of a palette color image (with 256 colors) sufficient in most cases. This simplifies the handling of Icon Images by File-set Readers and File-set Updaters.
b.If an FSR/FSU supports Icons (i.e., does not ignore them) then it shall support at least a maximum size of 64 by 64 Icons. An FSC may write Icons of any size. Icons larger than 64 by 64 may be ignored by FSRs and FSUs unless specialized by Application Profiles.
c.PixelsamplesshallhaveaValueofeither1or8forBitsAllocated(0028,0100)andBitsStored(0028,0101).HighBit(0028,0102) shall have a Value of one less than the Value used in Bit Stored.
d.Pixel Representation (0028,0103) shall specify an unsigned integer representation (Value 0000H).
e.Pixel Aspect Ratio (0028,0034) shall have a Value of 1:1.
f. If a Palette Color lookup Table is used, Bits Allocated (0028,0100) shall have a Value of 8.
