Table C.8-69 specifies the Attributes of the DX Anatomy Imaged Module, which describe the anatomy contained in a Digital X-Ray Image IOD.

Table C.8-69. DX Anatomy Imaged Module Attributes

Attribute Name	Tag	Type	Attribute Description
Image Laterality	(0020,0062)	1	Laterality of (possibly paired) body part (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined. Enumerated Values: R right L left U unpaired B both left and right Note This Attribute is mandatory, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display. Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present. Note Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.
Include Table 10-6 “General Anatomy Required Macro Attributes”	Anatomic Region Sequence DCID 4009 “DX Anatomy Imaged” for humans, and CID 7482 “DX Anatomy Imaged for Animal” for non-human organisms. This is the anatomic region that is placed on the table or bucky for examination. Note It is strongly recommended that Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218) be present with a value, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display.

Attribute Description

Image Laterality

(0020,0062)

Laterality of (possibly paired) body part (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined.

Enumerated Values:

R: right
L: left
U: unpaired
B: both left and right

Note

This Attribute is mandatory, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display.

Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present.

Note

Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.

Include Table 10-6 “General Anatomy Required Macro Attributes”

Anatomic Region Sequence DCID 4009 “DX Anatomy Imaged” for humans, and CID 7482 “DX Anatomy Imaged for Animal” for non-human organisms. This is the anatomic region that is placed on the table or bucky for examination.

Note

It is strongly recommended that Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218) be present with a value, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display.

C.8.11.2.1 DX Anatomy Imaged Module Attribute Descriptions

The Attributes in this Module extend the function of Body Part Examined (0018,0015) as used in other IODs, and are intended to be used to facilitate the management of images and Series in terms of routing, storage and display, as well as to dictate certain Conditions on Attributes and Modules in the Digital X-Ray Image IOD.
