This Section defines an Information Object to be used with Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography imaging devices.
The Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image IOD specifies a multi-frame image acquired on an Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography modality.
The Intravascular OCT Image IOD is used in two SOP Classes as defined in PS3.4 Storage Service Class, a SOP Class for storage of images intended for presentation, and a SOP Class for storage of images intended for further processing before presentation. These are distinguished by their SOP Class UID and by the Enumerated Value of the mandatory Attribute in the Intravascular OCT Series Module, Presentation Intent Type (0008,0068).
IVOCT stores frames of polar data arranged in a rectangular format when "FOR PROCESSING" is specified. The A-lines in a frame are arranged in row order, with the catheter optics toward the left of the image. A-lines are always stored from top to bottom, in order of acquisition. The A-lines are evenly spaced (in angles) to form a complete 360 degrees of acquisition.
Application entities creating IVOCT FOR PRESENTATION SOP instances shall apply all needed processing (e.g., Z offset and refractive index correction) to the IVOCT image for correct presentation.
The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Information Model that are referenced by the Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image IOD. Table A.66.3-1 specifies the Modules of the Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image IOD.

The following constraints on Image attributes take precedence over the descriptions given in the Module Attribute Tables.
For Contrast/Bolus Agent Sequence (0018,0012), the Defined Context Group is 3850.
The Overlay Plane Module and VOI LUT Module shall not be used in a Standard Extended SOP Class of the Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image.
In order to annotate images, whether during acquisition or subsequently, SOP Instances of the Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State Storage or the Structured Report Storage SOP Classes that reference the image SOP Instance may be used.
Pseudo-color presentation information may be applied through the use of separate Pseudo-color Softcopy Presentation State SOP instances.
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.
Table A.66.4.3-1 specifies the use of the Functional Group Macros used in the Multi-frame Functional Group Module for the Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image IOD.
