Description
(0018,0060) KVP
2
Peak kilo voltage output of the X-Ray generator used.
(0018,1155) Radiation Setting
1
Identify the general level of X-Ray dose exposure. Enumerated values are: SC = low dose exposure generally corresponding to fluoroscopic settings (e.g. preparation for diagnostic quality image acquisition); GR = high dose for diagnostic quality image acquisition (also called digital spot or cine);
(0018,1151) X-Ray Tube Current
2C
X-Ray Tube Current in mA. Required if Exposure (0018,1152) is not present.
(0018,1150) Exposure Time
2C
Duration of X-Ray exposure in msec. See 8.7.2.1.1. Required if Exposure (0018,1152) is not present.
(0018,1152) Exposure
2C
The exposure expressed in mAs, for example calculated from Exposure Time and X-ray Tube Current. Required if either Exposure Time (0018,1150) or X-Ray Tube Current (0018,1151) are not present.
(0018,1153) Exposure in µAs
3
The exposure expressed in µAs, for example calculated from Exposure Time and X-ray Tube Current.
(0018,1166) Grid
3
Identify the grid. Only a single value shall be present. Defined Terms are: IN = A Grid is positioned; NONE = No Grid is used.
(0018,1154) Average Pulse Width
3
Average width of X-Ray pulse in msec.
(0018,115A) Radiation Mode
3
Specifies X-Ray radiation mode. Defined Terms: CONTINUOUS PULSED
(0018,1161) Type of Filters
3
Type of filter(s) inserted into the X-Ray beam (e.g. wedges).
(0018,1162) Intensifier Size
3
Diameter of X-Ray intensifier in mm
(0018,1147) Field of View Shape
3
Shape of the Image Intensifier Field of View. See C.8.7.2.1.2. Defined Terms are: ROUND RECTANGLE
(0018,1149) Field of View Dimension(s)
3
Dimensions of the Image Intensifier Field of View in mm. If Rectangle, row dimension followed by column; if Round, diameter.
(0018,1164) Imager Pixel Spacing
3
Physical distance measured at the front plane of the Image Receptor housing between the center of each pixel specified by a numeric pair - row spacing value(delimiter) column spacing value in mm.
(0018,1190) Focal Spot
3
Nominal focal spot size in mm used to acquire this image.
(0018,115E) Image Area Dose Product
3
X-Ray dose, measured in dGy*cm*cm, to which the patient was exposed for the acquisition of this image plus any non-digitally recorded fluoroscopy which may have been performed to prepare for the acquisition of this image. Note: The sum of the Image Area Dose Product of all images of a Series or a Study may not result in the actual area dose product to which the patient was exposed.
