Physical distance between the center of each detector element, specified by a numeric pair - row spacing value(delimiter) column spacing value in mm. See Section 10.7.1.3 for further explanation of the value order.
This may not be the same as the Imager Pixel Spacing (0018,1164), and should not be assumed to describe the stored image.
All pixel spacing related Attributes are encoded as the physical distance between the centers of each two-dimensional pixel, specified by two numeric values.
The first value is the row spacing in mm, that is the spacing between the centers of adjacent rows, or vertical spacing.
The second value is the column spacing in mm, that is the spacing between the centers of adjacent columns, or horizontal spacing.
To illustrate, consider the example shown in Figure 10.7.1.3-1.
Figure 10.7.1.3-1. Example of Pixel Spacing Value Order
Pixel Spacing = Row Spacing \ Column Spacing = 0.30\0.25.
All pixel spacing related Attributes shall have positive non-zero values, except when there is only a single row or column or pixel of data present, in which case the corresponding value may be zero.
A single row or column or "pixel" may occur in MR Spectroscopy Instances.
