Description
(0008,0008) Image Type
1
Image identification characteristics. See C.8.4.9.1.1 for specialization.
(0054,0400) Image ID
3
User or equipment generated Image identifier.
(0028,2110) Lossy Image Compression
1C
Specifies whether an Image has undergone lossy compression. Enumerated Values: 00 = Image has NOT been subjected to lossy compression. 01 = Image has been subjected to lossy compression. See C.7.6.1.1.5 Required if Lossy Compression has been performed on the Image.
(0018,0070) Counts Accumulated
2
Sum of all gamma events for all frames in the image. See C.8.4.9.1.2 for specialization.
(0018,0071) Acquisition Termination Condition
3
Description of how the data collection was stopped. Defined Terms: CNTS = counts DENS = density MANU = manual OVFL = data overflow TIME = time TRIG = physiological trigger See C.8.4.9.1.3 for specialization.
(0018,1130) Table Height
3
The height of the patient table in mm. The range and values of this element are determined by the manufacturer. Should not be included if Image Type (0008,0008), Value 3, is TOMO, GATED TOMO, RECON TOMO or RECON GATED TOMO.
(0018,1131) Table Traverse
3
Location of the patient table (or gantry relative to the table) in mm. The range and values of this element are determined by the manufacturer. Should not be included if Image Type (0008,0008), Value 3, is TOMO, GATED TOMO, RECON TOMO or RECON GATED TOMO.
(0018,1242) Actual Frame Duration
1C
Elapsed time for data acquisition in msec. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 3 is: WHOLE BODY or STATIC. See C.8.4.9.1.4 for specialization.
(0018,1243) Count Rate
3
Maximum count rate achieved during the acquisition in counts/sec.
(0018,5020) Processing Function
3
Code or description of processing functions applied to the data.
(0028,0051) Corrected Image
3
A value that indicates which, if any, corrections have been applied to the image. Corrections are applied to all frames in the image. Defined Terms: UNIF = flood corrected COR = center of rotation corrected NCO = non-circular orbit corrected DECY = decay corrected ATTN = attenuation corrected SCAT = scatter corrected DTIM = dead time corrected NRGY = energy corrected LIN = linearity corrected MOTN = motion corrected CLN = count loss normalization; Any type of normalization applied to correct for count loss in Time Slots.
(0018,1301) Whole Body Technique
3
The type of scan performed. Used only if Image Type (0008,0008), Value 3, contains the value WHOLE BODY. Enumerated Values: 1PS = one pass 2PS = two pass PCN = patient contour following employed MSP = multiple static frames collected into a whole body frame.
(0018,1300) Scan Velocity
2C
The speed of the camera motion over the body in mm/sec. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 3 contains the value WHOLE BODY.
(0018,1302) Scan Length
2C
Size of the imaged area in the direction of scanning motion, in mm. Required if Image Type (0008,0008) Value 3 contains the value WHOLE BODY.
(0008,1130) Referenced Overlay Sequence

(0008,1150) >Referenced SOP Class UID
1C
Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP Class. Required if a sequence Item is present.
(0008,1155) >Referenced SOP Instance UID
1C
Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP Instance. Required if a sequence Item is present.
(0008,1145) Referenced Curve Sequence
3
A sequence which provides reference to a set of SOP Class/Instance pairs which are related independent Curves. Uniquely identifies Curves significantly related to this Image. Zero or more Items may be included in this sequence.
(0008,1150) >Referenced SOP Class UID
1C
Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP Class. Required if a sequence Item is present.
(0008,1155) >Referenced SOP Instance UID
1C
Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP Instance. Required if a sequence Item is present.
(0018,1061) Trigger Source or Type
3
Text indicating trigger source. Defined Term: EKG
(0008,2218) Anatomic Region Sequence
