Note

The Curve Module (Retired) was previously included in the Image IE for this IOD but has been retired. See PS3.3-2004.

A.5.4.1 Acquisition Context Module

For Acquisition Context Sequence (0040,0555) DTID 3470 “NM/PET Acquisition Context” shall be used, which includes description of the cardiovascular rest or stress state.

The Acquisition Context Sequence (0040,0555) shall always apply to all frames in the Image. Patient State shall always apply to all frames in the Image, therefore, neither Referenced Frame Numbers (0040,A136) nor Referenced Frame Number (0008,1160) shall be present.

The Acquisition Context information may be entered during acquisition, or obtained from the Modality Worklist using information supplied in the Protocol Context, using TID 15101 “NM/PET Protocol Context”.
