A.90 Confocal Microscopy Image IODs
The Confocal Microscopy Image IODs specify images that are acquired by means of a confocal microscope.
The confocal microscopy may be performed in-vivo or ex-vivo in reflectance or fluorescence mode.
Confocal images may be simple (non-tiled) or tiled.
Separate IODs have been defined for simple confocal microscopy images and tiled pyramidal images.
Simple confocal images may be encoded according the to the Confocal Microscopy Image IOD.
A SOP Instance may contain one or more frames (multi-frame).
A movie acquisition may be encoded as a multi-frame cine image.
A.90.1 Confocal Microscopy Image IOD
A.90.1.1 Confocal Microscopy Image IOD Description
The Confocal Microscopy Image IOD specifies the Attributes of a simple (non-tiled) Confocal Microscopy Image.
A.90.1.2 Confocal Microscopy Image IOD Description Entity-Relationship Model
The Confocal Microscopy Image IOD uses the DICOM Composite Instance IOD Entity-Relationship Information Model defined in Section A.1.2, with only the Image IE below the Series IE.
A.90.1.3 Confocal Microscopy Image IOD Module Table
Table A.90.1.3-1 specifies the Modules of the Confocal Microscopy Image IOD.

A.90.1.4.2 Acquisition Context Module
The Defined TID for Acquisition Context Sequence (0040,0555) is TID 8300 “Skin Imaging Acquisition Context”.
Note
Any lesion level Attributes apply to the single lesion seen in the acquired image.
A.90.1.4.3 Referenced Image Sequence
In cutaneous confocal microscopy the Referenced Image Sequence (0008,1140) may be used to identify the SOP instance of a Dermoscopic, or Visible Light image correlated to the Confocal Microscopy acquisition
in which case the value of Purpose of Reference Code Sequence (0040,A170) shall be (121311, DCM, "Localizer").
