Prev	10 Miscellaneous Macros	Next

Table 10-19 specifies the Attributes of the Algorithm Identification Macro, which identifies and describes the algorithm used to create or derive a SOP Instance contents. An algorithm is described by the Algorithm Family, a specific Algorithm Name, and an Algorithm Version. A character string containing parameters that were used in the algorithm can be included.

Table 10-19. Algorithm Identification Macro Attributes

Attribute Name	Tag	Type	Attribute Description
Algorithm Family Code Sequence	(0066,002F)	1	The family of algorithm(s) that best describes the software algorithm used. Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence.

Algorithm Name Code Sequence	(0066,0030)	3	The code assigned by a manufacturer to a specific software algorithm. Only a single Item is permitted in this Sequence.
>Include Table 8.8-1 “Code Sequence Macro Attributes”			No Baseline CID is defined.
Algorithm Name	(0066,0036)	1	The name assigned by a manufacturer to a specific software algorithm.
Algorithm Version	(0066,0031)	1	The software version identifier assigned by a manufacturer to a specific software algorithm.
Algorithm Parameters	(0066,0032)	3	The input parameters used by a manufacturer to configure the behavior of a specific software algorithm.
Algorithm Source	(0024,0202)	3	Source of the algorithm, e.g., the name of the manufacturer, researcher, university, etc.
