Description
(0020,0062) Image Laterality
1
Laterality of (possibly paired) body part (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined. Enumerated Values: R = right L = left U = unpaired B = both left and right Note: This Attribute is mandatory, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display. Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present. Note: Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent.
(0008,2218) Anatomic Region Sequence
2
Sequence that identifies the anatomic region of interest in this image (i.e. external anatomy, surface anatomy, or general region of the body). This anatomic region is placed on the table or bucky for examination. Note: It is strongly recommended that this Attribute be sent with a value, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display. See C.8.11.2.1.1 for further explanation. Only a single Item shall be permitted in this Sequence.
(0008,2220) >Anatomic Region Modifier Sequence
3
Sequence that modifies the anatomic region of interest in this image (i.e. prone, supine, decubitus right). May be present only if Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218) is sent. See C.8.11.2.1.1 for further explanation. One or more Items may be included in this Sequence.
(0008,2228) Primary Anatomic Structure Sequence
3
Sequence that identifies the primary anatomic structures of interest in this image. See C.8.11.2.1.2 for further explanation. One or more Items may be included in this Sequence.
