A.56 Enhanced PET Image IOD

A.56.1 Enhanced PET Image IOD Description

The Enhanced Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Image Information Object Definition (IOD) specifies an image that has been created by a positron emission tomography coincidence imaging device.

A.56.2 Enhanced PET Image IOD Entity-Relationship Model

The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Information Model that directly reference the Enhanced PET Image IOD.

A.56.3.1 Enhanced PET Image IOD Content Constraints

The Modality Type attribute (0008,0060) shall have the value PT.

The General Image Module, Overlay Plane Module, VOI LUT Module, Supplemental Palette Color Lookup Table Module, and the Softcopy Presentation LUT Module shall not be used in a Standard Extended SOP Class of the Enhanced PET Image.

Note

  1. In order to annotate images, whether during acquisition or subsequently, SOP Instances of the Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State Storage, Color Softcopy Presentation State Storage, or the Structured Report Storage SOP Classes that reference the image SOP Instance, may be used.

  2. No standard mechanism is provided for inclusion of annotations within the image SOP Instance itself, and implementers are discouraged from using private extensions to circumvent this restriction.

  3. The Blending Softcopy Presentation State and Spatial Registration SOP Classes can be used to relate this SOP Instance to related image, registration, or fiducial SOP Instances.

  4. If contrast was administered during a CT acquisition used for attenuation correction, this information can be obtained from the CT SOP Instances and is not encoded in the PET SOP Instances.

A.56.4 Enhanced PET Image Functional Group Macros

Table A.56-2 specifies the use of the Functional Group Macros used in the Multi-frame Functional Group Module for the Enhanced PET Image IOD.

A.56.5 Acquisition Context Module

The Defined TID for Acquisition Context Sequence (0040,0555) is TID 3471 “PET Covariates Acquisition Context”, which includes the blood glucose measurement. In contrast to the PET Image IOD, the description of the cardiovascular rest or stress state is encoded in the Enhanced PET Image IOD using the Patient Physiological State Functional Group Macro, rather than the Acquisition Context.

The Acquisition Context information may be entered during acquisition, or obtained from the Modality Worklist using information supplied in the Protocol Context, using TID 15101 “NM/PET Protocol Context”.
