The Surface Scan Point Cloud IOD specifies a point cloud generated by an optical surface scanner. Multiple Point Clouds within the same series shall be from the same anatomical region, but they do not need to be in the same coordinate system.
The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Information Model that are referenced by the Surface Scan Point Cloud IOD. Below the Series IE, only the Surface IE is used.
