C.8.15.3.10 CT Pixel Value Transformation Macro

Table C.8-126 specifies the Attributes of the CT Pixel Value Transformation Macro.

Note

  1. This Macro is equivalent to the Modality LUT transformation in non Multi-frame IODs.

  2. This in effect specializes the Section C.7.6.16.2.9 Pixel Value Transformation Macro.

Type

Attribute Description

Pixel Value Transformation Sequence

(0028,9145)

1

Contains the Attributes involved in the transformation of stored pixel values.

Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence.

>Rescale Intercept

(0028,1052)

1

The value b in relationship between stored values (SV) and the output units.

Output units = m*SV + b.

>Rescale Slope

(0028,1053)

1

m in the equation specified by Rescale Intercept (0028,1052).

>Rescale Type

(0028,1054)

1

Specifies the output units of Rescale Slope (0028,1053) and Rescale Intercept (0028,1052).

See Section C.11.1.1.2 for further explanation.

If Frame Type (0008,9007) Value 1 of this frame is ORIGINAL and Frame Type (0008,9007) Value 3 is not LOCALIZER and Multi-energy CT Acquisition (0018,9361) is either absent or NO, the value shall be HU (Hounsfield Units).
