Note
-
The XA modality incorporates the retired modality DS.
-
The RF modality incorporates the retired modalities CF, DF, VF.
-
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.
-
The MR modality incorporates the retired modalities MA and MS.
-
The US modality incorporates the retired modalities EC, CD, and DD.
-
The NM modality incorporates the retired modality ST.
