Laterality of object imaged (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined.
Enumerated Values:
- R
-
right eye
- L
-
left eye
- B
-
both left and right eye
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 if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series. Since most Ophthalmic Photographic Image Series contain images of both eyes, the Series level Attribute will rarely be present.
