In the Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State IOD, the Presentation Series Module specializes some Attributes of the General Series Module, the Presentation State Mask Module specializes some Attributes of the Mask Module, and the Presentation State Shutter Module specializes some Attributes of the Bitmap Display Shutter and Display Shutter Modules.

Note

  1. Subtraction between different images is not supported.

  2. The Mask Module condition implies that it need not be supported by an SCP that supports presentation states only for single frame image storage SOP Classes, or instances of multi-frame image Storage SOP Classes that contain only one frame.

  3. The Display Shutter may be used to darken image areas that surround important information and exclude extraneous bright areas that increase glare and ambient lighting impairing image interpretation. For example, unexposed areas in a CR image might be obscured using the Display Shutter, rather than permanently replacing image pixels in those areas.

  4. This IOD does not support the storage of a multi-frame overlay in the IOD itself, but does support selective activation of multi-frame overlays within the referenced images via the Overlay Activation Module.

  3. selection of the area of the image to display and whether to rotate or flip it

  4. image and display relative annotations, including graphics, text and overlays

In the Blending Softcopy Presentation State IOD, the Presentation Series Module specializes some Attributes of the General Series Module.

The Softcopy Presentation LUT Module shall not be present in this IOD.

The Modality LUT and Softcopy VOI LUT Module shall not be present in this IOD, since the Presentation State Blending Module subsumes their function.

The Palette Color LUT Module describes the color mapping to be used for the superimposed image set.

The Displayed Area and Graphic Annotation Modules specifically identify those images or frames to which they apply, and may include images or frames from the underlying or superimposed set.

The Spatial Transformation Module describes any necessary spatial transformation of the image to be rendered after the blending operation.

The Overlay Plane and Overlay/Curve Activation Modules shall not be present, and any overlays present in the referenced images shall not be displayed.

The Display Shutter and Bitmap Display Shutter Modules shall not be present, since the underlying image geometry may differ between the two sets of images.

The ICC Profile Module shall always be present. If the color space to be used is not calibrated (i.e., a device-specific ICC Input Profile is not available), then an ICC Input Profile specifying a well-known space (such as sRGB) may be specified.

A.33.5 Basic Structured Display IOD

A.33.5.1 Basic Structured Display IOD Description

The Basic Structured Display Information Object Definition (IOD) specifies an instance of a single screen structured display that has been created for a patient. It references specific image or other composite SOP instances from one or more studies for that patient, or for other patients for comparison, arranged in a specific presentation layout. Presentation of images within the structured display may be controlled by referenced Softcopy Presentation State instances. The structured display may include text annotations.
