A.1.2.18 Surface IE
The Surface IE defines the Attributes that describe a surface in a spatial coordinate system. A surface is defined by its shape and can be further defined by normals on that shape. The surface may be reconstructed from either spatial scans (e.g., laser scanners) or based on images. A surface is described by its finite volume and manifold property, gray scale and color mapping characteristics, presentation type, opacity, and modality specific characteristics.
A surface is related to a single Series.
A.1.2.19 Measurements IE
The Measurements IE defines the Attributes that describe the measurements taken by medical instruments.
A.1.2.20 Tractography Results IE
The Tractography Results IE defines the Attributes that describe the results of a tractography application.
Note
The term tractogram is not used because it does not include all types of tractography results.
A.1.2.21 Plan IE
The Plan IE defines the parameters and instructions to deliver treatment, particularly Radiotherapy, to the Patient. The entity includes thesetofmachineandpositioningparameterstobeappliedduringtreatmentdeliveryandinstructionsguidingthetreatmentworkflow.
A.1.2.22 Content Assessment Result IE
The Content Assessment Result IE contains the results of an assessment of the content of a SOP instance.
An assessment is part of a process within a clinical workflow, conducted by users or devices, which have the role of assessing the validity and suitability of the content in question, based on subjective or objective criteria. The specific nature of such a process is outside of the scope of this Standard.
A.1.2.23 Spatial Fiducials IE
The Spatial Fiducials IE identifies one or more geometric locations or shapes within a Frame of Reference or image pixel/voxel space that may be correlated with similar locations or shapes within different frames of reference or image pixel/voxel spaces.
A.1.2.24 Dose IE
The Dose IE describes dose distributions calculated by radiotherapy treatment planning systems. These distributions may be repres- ented as 2D or 3D grids, as isodose curves, or as named or unnamed dose points scattered throughout a volume.
A.1.2.25 Structure Set IE
The Structure Set IE describes Regions of Interest (ROI) within a referenced 2D (image) or 3D (volumetric) space. These ROIs may be represented as geometric contours.
A.1.2.26 Treatment Record IE
The Treatment Record IE describes treatments, particularly radiotherapy, for a Patient.
A.1.2.27 Stereometric Relationship IE
The Stereometric Relationship IE defines how referenced images are related as stereometric pairs.

A.1.2.28 Procedure Protocol IE
The Procedure Protocol IE defines the Attributes that describe a Protocol. This IE may encode a Defined Procedure Protocol or a Performed Procedure Protocol.
A.1.3 IOD Module Table and Functional Group Macro Table
This Section of each IOD defines in a tabular form the Modules comprising the IOD. The following information must be specified for each Module in the table:
•The name of the Module or Functional Group
•A reference to the Section in Annex C that defines the Module or Functional Group
•The usage of the Module or Functional Group; whether it is:
•Mandatory (see Section A.1.3.1), abbreviated M
•Conditional (see Section A.1.3.2), abbreviated C
•User Option (see Section A.1.3.3), abbreviated U
The Modules referenced are defined in Annex C.
A.1.3.1 Mandatory Modules
For each IOD, Mandatory Modules shall be supported per the definitions, semantics and requirements defined in Annex C.
A.1.3.2 Conditional Modules
Conditional Modules are Mandatory Modules if specific conditions are met. If the specified conditions are not met, this Module shall not be supported; that is, no information defined in that Module shall be present.
A.1.3.3 User Option Modules
User Option Modules may or may not be supported. If an optional Module is supported, the Attribute Types specified in the Modules in Annex C shall be supported.
A.1.4 Overview of the Composite IOD Module Content
The Tables in this Section provide an overview of the Modules used throughout the Composite IODs. This table is for informative purposes only. It is based on the IOD definitions found in the remaining Sections of Annex A that are normative.
