ORIGINAL

An image or frame is original if its pixel data was directly reconstructed from the original data that is obtained from the sensors of the imaging equipment, Image Type (0008,0008) Value 4 is NONE, and Volume Based Calculation Technique (0008,9207) is NONE.

DERIVED

An image or frame is derived if its pixel data was calculated from original or other derived pixel data (i.e., it is not original).

MIXED

Used only as a value in Image Type (0008,0008) if frames within the SOP Instance contain different values for Value 1 in their Frame Type (0008,9007).

PRIMARY

See Section C.7.6.1.1.2

ANGIO

Collected for the purpose of angiography.

CARDIAC

Images of the heart.

CARDIAC_GATED

Cardiac gated images, other than of the heart.

CARDRESP_GATED

Cardiac and respiratory gated images.

DYNAMIC

An image in which the same anatomical volume is imaged at multiple times in order to capture images of a non-cyclic, time varying event. For example, imaging of the uptake of a tracer or contrast in a specific organ over time.

FLUOROSCOPY

Real-time collection of single slices (e.g., CT or MR Fluoroscopy).

LOCALIZER

Collected for the purpose of planning other images.

MOTION

Collected for looking at body motion.

PERFUSION

Collected for the purposes of perfusion calculations.

PRE_CONTRAST

Collected before contrast was administered.

POST_CONTRAST

Collected during or after contrast was administered.

RESP_GATED

Respiratory gated images.

REST

Cardiac rest image set.

STATIC

A group of frames at varying spatial locations acquired at the same time.

STRESS

Cardiac stress image set.

VOLUME

Set of frames that define a regularly sampled volume.

NON_PARALLEL

Set of frames that are not parallel.

PARALLEL

Set of frames that are parallel but do not constitute a regularly sampled volume.

WHOLE_BODY

A group of frames of the whole body; the frames may be acquired at various times (as distinct from STATIC).

ADDITION

Created through Pixel by pixel addition operation.

DIVISION

Created through Pixel by pixel division operation.

MASKED

Created through Pixel by pixel masking operation.

MAXIMUM

Created through Pixel by Pixel maximum operation.

MEAN

Created through Pixel by pixel mean operation.

MINIMUM

Created through Pixel by Pixel minimum operation.

MULTIPLICATION

Created through Pixel by pixel multiplication operation.

RESAMPLED

Pixels have been spatially re-sampled, e.g., MPR.

STD_DEVIATION

Standard Deviation.

SUBTRACTION

Created through Pixel by pixel subtraction operation.

NONE

Not a calculated image.

QUANTITY

Derived pixel values are a quantity described by Quantity Definition Sequence (0040,9220) of the Real World Value Mapping Macro.

MIXED

Used only as value in Image Type (0008,0008) if frames within the image SOP Instance contain different values for value 4 in their Frame Type (0008,9007) Attribute.

ATTENUATION

Collected for the purpose of performing attenuation corrections (e.g., PET attenuation correction).

CARDIAC_CTA

Images of the heart collected for the purpose of CT Coronary Angiography (CTA).

CARDIAC_CASCORE

Images of the heart collected for the purpose of CT Coronary Calcium Scoring.

REFERENCE

Collected for anatomical reference for PET or SPECT.

FILTERED

An image filter has been applied.

MEDIAN

Pixel by pixel median.

ENERGY_PROP_WT

Image pixels created through proportional weighting of multiple acquisitions at distinct X-Ray energies.

VMI

Virtual Monoenergetic Image. Each real-world value mapped pixel represents CT Hounsfield units and is analogous to a CT image created by a monoenergetic (of a specific keV value) X-Ray beam.

MAT_SPECIFIC

Material-Specific Image. Each real-world value mapped pixel value represents a property of a material such as attenuation, concentration or density.

MAT_REMOVED

An image with the attenuation contribution of one or more materials removed. For pixels that did not contain any of the removed material(s), the pixel values are unchanged.

MAT_FRACTIONAL

Material-Fractional Image. Each real-world value mapped pixel represents the fraction of a voxel occupied by a material.

EFF_ATOMIC_NUM

Effective Atomic Number Image. Each real-world value mapped pixel represents Effective Atomic Number of the materials in the voxel.

ELECTRON_DENSITY

Electron Density Image. Each real-world value mapped pixel represents the number of electrons per unit volume or the electron density relative to water.

MAT_MODIFIED

Material-Modified Image. CT Image where real-world value mapped pixels have been modified to highlight a certain target material (either by partially suppressing the background or by enhancing the target material), or to partially suppress the target material.

MAT_VALUE_BASED

Value-Based Image. CT Image where real-world value mapped pixels represent a certain value for a specified material

MIXED

Used only as a value in Image Type (0008,0008) if frames within the image SOP Instance contain different values for Value 5 in their Frame Type (0008,9007).
