Required if one or more biopsy targets are present for this frame.

>Target UID

(0018,2042)

1

Unique identifier for the target.

>Localizing Cursor Position

(0018,2043)

1

Coordinates of localizing cursor position with respect to pixels in the image specified by a column (delimiter) row pair. The values shall be in the range 0\0 (TLHC) to Columns\Rows (BRHC).

>Calculated Target Position

(0018,2044)

1

The calculated target position (x, y, z) in mm in an equipment relative right-handed coordinate system where the origin is under the central X-Ray beam at the chest wall, and a z value of zero is located at the surface that the breast is in contact with that is closest to the detector.

X is parallel to the chest wall, y is positive toward the patient's nipple, and z is positive toward the X-Ray source.

>Displayed Z Value

(0018,2046)

1

The z value in mm displayed to the user at the time of biopsy.

>Target Label
