Description
(0018,9037) Cardiac Synchronization Technique
1C
Defines if a cardiac synchronization technique was applied during or after the acquisition. Enumerated Values: NONE REALTIME = total time for the acquisition is shorter than cardiac cycle, no gating is applied PROSPECTIVE = certain thresholds have been set for a gating window that defines the acceptance of measurement data during the acquisition RETROSPECTIVE = certain thresholds have been set for a gating window that defines the acceptance of measurement data after the acquisition PACED = there is a constant RR interval (e.g., Pacemaker), which makes thresholding not required Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED. May be present otherwise.
(0018,9085) Cardiac Signal Source
1C
Cardiac Signal Source. Defined Terms: ECG = electrocardiogram VCG = vector cardiogram PP = peripheral pulse MR = magnetic resonance, i.e. M-mode or cardiac navigator Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE.
(0018,9070) Cardiac RR Interval Specified
1C
R-R interval in ms measured prior to or during the scan. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE.
(0018,9169) Cardiac Beat Rejection Technique
1C
Cardiac arrhythmia rejection technique. Defined Terms: NONE RR_INTERVAL = rejection based on deviation from average RR interval QRS_LOOP = rejection based on deviation from regular QRS loop PVC = rejection based on PVC criteria Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals PROSPECTIVE or RETROSPECTIVE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals PROSPECTIVE or RETROSPECTIVE.
(0018,1081) Low R-R Value
2C
R-R interval low limit for beat rejection, in ms. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals PROSPECTIVE or RETROSPECTIVE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals PROSPECTIVE or RETROSPECTIVE.
(0018,1082) High R-R Value
2C
R-R interval high limit for beat rejection, in ms. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals PROSPECTIVE or RETROSPECTIVE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals PROSPECTIVE or RETROSPECTIVE.
(0018,1083) Intervals Acquired
2C
Number of R-R intervals acquired. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE.
(0018,1084) Intervals Rejected
2C
Number of R-R intervals rejected. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is ORIGINAL or MIXED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE. Otherwise may be present if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 1 is DERIVED and Cardiac Synchronization Technique (0018,9037) equals other than NONE.
