Attribute Description

Referenced Raw Data Sequence

(0008,9121)

3

The Raw data that was used to derive this Image.

One or more Items are permitted in this Sequence.

Note

The Items of in this Sequence may identify raw data that has not been stored or encoded as a DICOM object. This allows recognition that images and spectra in different Instances have been reconstructed from the same raw data. For such Items the SOP Class UID may be "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.66" (Raw Data SOP Class).

Referenced Waveform Sequence

(0008,113A)

3

References to waveforms acquired in conjunction with this image. These Waveforms may or may not be temporally synchronized with this image.

One or more Items are permitted in this Sequence.

Referenced Image Evidence Sequence

(0008,9092)

1C

Full set of Composite SOP Instances referred to inside the Referenced Image Sequences of this Instance. See Section 10.42.1.1 for further explanation.

One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.

Required if the Referenced Image Sequence (0008,1140) is present and not empty, and the SOP Class UID of the referencing SOP Instance is not a legacy converted SOP Class (Legacy Converted Enhanced CT Image Storage "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2.2", Legacy Converted Enhanced MR Image Storage "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.4", Legacy Converted Enhanced PET Image Storage "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.128.1"). May be present otherwise.

Source Image Evidence Sequence

(0008,9154)

1C

Full set of Composite SOP Instances referred to inside the Source Image Sequences of this Instance. See Section 10.42.1.1 for further explanation.

One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.

Required if the Source Image Sequence (0008,2112) is present and not empty, and the SOP Class UID of the referencing SOP Instance is not a legacy converted SOP Class (Legacy Converted Enhanced CT Image Storage "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2.2", Legacy Converted Enhanced MR Image Storage "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.4", Legacy Converted Enhanced PET Image Storage "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.128.1"). May be present otherwise.

>Include Table C.17-3 “Hierarchical SOP Instance Reference Macro Attributes”

Referenced Presentation State Sequence

(0008,9237)

1C

References to Presentation State instances created together with this instance

Note

This Sequence does not reference Presentation States generated after image creation, such as during interpretation.

One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.

Required if Presentation State is created together with the images.
