The Enhanced Patient Orientation Module describes the patient orientation with respect to gravity and to the equipment (i.e., the gantry) using three Attributes invoked from the Patient Orientation and Equipment Relationship Macro Attributes. See examples in Table C.7.6.30.1-1
Patient Orientation Code Sequence (0054,0410) describes the rough orientation of the imaged part of the Patient with respect to gravity; vertical, horizontal, or in-between.
Note
(102539006, SCT, "semi-erect") refers to the imaged anatomy being partway between erect and recumbent, for example, inclined 45 degrees.
Patient Orientation Modifier Code Sequence (0054,0412) provides a more detailed description of the orientation and positioning of the patient.
Patient Equipment Relationship Code Sequence (3010,0030) describes the orientation of the Patient with respect to the imaging equipment.
