Note

  1. The XA modality incorporates the retired modality DS.

  2. The RF modality incorporates the retired modalities CF, DF, VF.

  3. The modality listed in the Modality Data Element (0008,0060) may not match the name of the IOD in which it appears. For example, a SOP Instance from XA IOD may list the RF modality when an RF implementation produces an XA object.

  4. The MR modality incorporates the retired modalities MA and MS.

  5. The US modality incorporates the retired modalities EC, CD, and DD.

  6. The NM modality incorporates the retired modality ST.
