The Acquisition Context information may be entered during acquisition, or obtained from the Modality Worklist using information supplied in the Protocol Context, using TID 15101 “NM/PET Protocol Context”.
A.57 Surface Segmentation IOD
A.57.1 Surface Segmentation IOD Description
The Surface Segmentation Information Object Definition (IOD) specifies a polygonal representation of a three dimensional surface. A Surface Segmentation SOP Instance may reference an externally defined coordinate system via the Frame of Reference UID (0020,0052) or establish its own coordinate system.
The Surface Segmentation IOD does not include the full set of acquisition parameters of the referenced images, e.g., cardiac phase. An application rendering or processing the segmentation may need to access the referenced images for such information.
One Segmented Surface Instance can contain one or more surfaces. Each surface within a Segmented Surface IE is represented as a single object.
A.57.2 Surface Segmentation IOD Entity-Relationship Model
This IOD uses the E-R Model in Section A.1.2, with only the Surface IE below the Series IE.
A.57.3 Surface Segmentation IOD Module Table
Table A.57-1 specifies the Modules of the Surface Segmentation IOD.
