Specifies the intended interpretation of the pixel data. Shall have one of the following Enumerated Values: MONOCHROME1 MONOCHROME2
(0018,0060) KVP
3
Peak kilo voltage output of the x-ray generator used
(0018,1004) Plate ID
3
The ID or serial number of the sensing plate upon which the image was acquired
(0018,1110) Distance Source to Detector
3
Distance in mm from source to detector center
(0018,1111) Distance Source to Patient
3
Distance in mm from source to isocenter (center of field of view)
(0018,1150) Exposure Time
3
Time of x-ray exposure in msec
(0018,1151) X-ray Tube Current
3
X-ray Tube Current in mA.
(0018,1152) Exposure
3
The exposure expressed in mAs, for example calculated from Exposure Time and X-ray Tube Current.
(0018,1153) Exposure in µAs
3
The exposure expressed in µAs, for example calculated from Exposure Time and X-ray Tube Current.
(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. In the case of CR, the front plane is defined to be the external surface of the CR plate closest to the patient and radiation source.
(0018,1170) Generator Power
3
Power in kW to the x-ray generator.
(0018,1400) Acquisition Device Processing Description
3
Describes device-specific processing associated with the image (e.g. Organ Description)
(0018,1401) Acquisition Device Processing Code
3
Code representing the device-specific processing associated with the image (e.g. CR Organ Filtering code)
(0018,1402) Cassette Orientation
3
Orientation of cassette, used to properly position the image for display. Enumerated Values: LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT
(0018,1403) Cassette Size
3
Size of cassette. Defined Terms: 18CMX24CM 8INX10IN 24CMX30CM 10INX12IN 30CMX35CM 30CMX40CM 11INX14IN 35CMX35CM 14INX14IN 35CMX43CM 14INX17IN
(0018,1404) Exposures on Plate
