This Section defines the Information Object for multi-dimensional reconstructed breast tomosynthesis X-Ray Images that includes those data elements and information objects necessary for the interchange of multi-dimensional breast tomosynthesis X-Ray volumes.
This IOD is not intended for interchange of source projection x-ray images.
The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Application Information Model that directly reference the Breast Tomosynthesis Image IOD.

The Overlay Plane Module, Modality LUT Module, VOI LUT Module and Softcopy Presentation LUT Module shall not be used in a Standard Extended SOP Class of the Breast Tomosynthesis Image.
The VOI LUT function is provided by a Frame VOI LUT Functional Group.
Table A.55-2 specifies the use of the Functional Group Macros used in the Multi-frame Functional Groups Module for the Breast Tomosynthesis Image IOD.
