Type of Frame. A multi-valued Attribute analogous to Image Type (0008,0008).

Enumerated Values and Defined Terms are the same as those for the four values of Image Type (0008,0008), except that the value MIXED is not allowed. See Section C.8.21.1.1.1. For Breast Tomosynthesis Image See Section C.8.21.6.1.1.

C.8.21.1.1.1 Image Type and Frame Type

In addition to the requirements specified in Section C.8.16.1 Image Type, the following additional requirements and Defined Terms are specified.

C.8.21.1.1.1.1 Pixel Data Characteristics

Value 1 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007) is discussed in Section C.8.16.1.1. No additional requirements or Defined Terms.

C.8.21.1.1.1.2 Patient Examination Characteristics

Value 2 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007) is discussed in Section C.8.16.1.2. No additional requirements or Defined Terms.

C.8.21.1.1.1.3 Image Flavor

Value 3 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007) is discussed in Section C.8.16.1.3. No additional requirements or Defined Terms.

C.8.21.1.1.1.4 Derived Pixel Contrast

Value 4 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007) is discussed in Section C.8.16.1.4. The value shall be NONE.

Section C.8.21.6.1.1

C.8.21.6.1.1 Image Type and Frame Type

In addition to the requirements specified in Section C.8.21.1.1.1 Image Type and Frame Type, the following Defined Terms are specified for Value 3 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007):

Table C.8.21.6-1a. Defined Terms of Image Type (0008,0008) Value 3 for Contrast Enhanced, Tomosynthesis and Biopsy

Defined Term

Definition

ACR MQCM Equivalent

Contrast

PRE_CONTRAST

Collected before contrast was administered.

n/a

POST_CONTRAST

Collected during or after contrast was administered.

n/a

Tomosynthesis

TOMO_PROJ

Identifies the image as a digital breast tomosynthesis projection image.

n/a

TOMOSYNTHESIS

Tomographic reconstruction from limited angle projection data.

n/a

Biopsy

TOMO_SCOUT

A localizer image set that may be used to determine positioning coordinates prior to needle positioning.

…SC

PREFIRE

An image set obtained with the biopsy needle in position prior to needle deployment.

…PRF

POSTFIRE

An image set obtained with the biopsy needle in position following needle deployment through the targeted lesion.

…POF

POSTBIOPSY

An image set obtained following tissue acquisition with the X-Ray source in the scout position.

…POB

POSTMARKER

An image set obtained following micromarker placement with the X-Ray source in the scout position.

…POM


Note

There is no need for _MINUS or _PLUS because a single digital breast tomosynthesis acquisition produces a projection and/or reconstruction image set that replaces the _MINUS and _PLUS image pair used in conventional 2D breast biopsy imaging (see Section C.8.11.7.1.4).

If more than one characteristic (biopsy, tomosynthesis, contrast enhanced) applies to an image, Value 3 shall contain the biopsy image type. If biopsy is not involved, Value 3 shall contain the tomosynthesis image type.

Note

For example, Attributes of the Enhanced Contrast/Bolus Module may be used to identify contrast enhanced characteristics of a biopsy and/or tomosynthesis image that is also contrast enhanced.

Value 4 shall be NONE except for applicable contrast enhanced images, mathematically generated 2D images and other tomosynthesis reconstructions. The following Defined Terms are specified for Value 4 of Image Type (0008,0008) and Frame Type (0008,9007). For additional Defined Terms see Section C.8.16.1.4, which includes NONE. Value 4 is not permitted to be empty or absent.

Table C.8.21.6-1b. Defined Terms of Image Type (0008,0008) Value 4 for Contrast Enhanced and Tomosynthesis

Defined Term

Definition

Tomosynthesis

GENERATED_2D

Mathematically generated 2D view.

MAXIMUM

Created through Pixel by pixel maximum operation.

MEAN

Created through Pixel by pixel mean operation.

Contrast

ADDITION

Created through Pixel by pixel addition operation.

SUBTRACTION

Created through Pixel by pixel subtraction operation.


If more than one characteristic (contrast enhanced, tomosynthesis) applies to an image, Value 4 shall contain the contrast enhanced image type. If contrast enhanced is not involved, Value 4 shall contain the tomosynthesis image type.

Value 5 shall be present for images acquired using contrast enhanced digital X-Ray imaging of the breast, but may be empty or absent if none of the Defined Terms applies. For non-contrast images Value 5 remains optional and implementation specific.

Defined Terms

Definition

LOW_ENERGY

Low energy image.

HIGH_ENERGY

High energy image.


Note

  1. A recipient may use the different values for biopsy, tomosynthesis and contrast views to determine how to display them, for example in hanging protocols. See examples in Table C.8.21.6-1d.

  2. The entry "empty" in the table indicates that the value is present with zero length and a preceding delimiter (e.g. "Tomosynthesis thick reconstructed slices pre-contrast" has one empty value at the end and would be expressed as ORIGINAL\PRIMARY\TOMOSYNTHESIS\MAXIMUM\). Other empty or non-empty values may follow an empty value.

  3. The entry "-" in the table indicates that the value is not present and neither is its preceding delimiter (e.g. "Tomosynthesis thin reconstructed slices" has one absent value at the end and would be expressed as ORIGINAL\PRIMARY\TOMOSYNTHESIS\NONE). No other values may follow an absent value.
