Attribute Description

Samples per Pixel

(0028,0002)

1

Number of samples (color planes) in this image. The value shall be 1.

Photometric Interpretation

(0028,0004)

1

Specifies the intended interpretation of the pixel data. See Section C.8.4.7.1.1 for further explanation.

Bits Allocated

(0028,0100)

1

Number of bits allocated for each pixel sample. Each sample shall have the same number of bits allocated.

Enumerated Values:

8

16

Bits Stored

(0028,0101)

1

Number of bits stored for each pixel sample. Each sample shall have the same number of bits stored. The value shall be the same as the value in Bits Allocated (0028,0100).

High Bit

(0028,0102)

1

Most significant bit for pixel sample data. Each sample shall have the same high bit. Shall be one less than the value in Bits Stored (0028,0101).

Pixel Spacing

(0028,0030)

2

Physical distance in the patient between the center of each pixel, specified by a numeric pair - adjacent row spacing (delimiter) adjacent column spacing, in mm. See Section 10.7.1.3 for further explanation of the value order.
