Figure C.7.2-1. Functions of Physicians
There can be an overlap of functions provided by any given physician. In this case, the various Attributes specifying the different roles would convey the same physician name.
C.7.2.2 Patient Study Module
Table C.7-4a defines Attributes that provide information about the Patient at the time the Study started.
Note
In the case of imaging a group of small animals simultaneously, the Attributes in this Module can only have values that apply to the entire group, otherwise they are absent (e.g., Patient's Weight (0010,1030)) or empty (e.g., Patient's Sex Neutered (0010,2203).
