See Section C.8.20.2.3.

If present, shall be NO if Segmentation Type (0062,0001) is LABELMAP.

Note

If the value is NO, then a receiving application to which this matters can be assured that no Segments overlap and does not need to check every pixel. If the value is UNDEFINED or YES, or the Attribute is absent, then a receiving application might need to check every pixel in every Segment.

Segment Sequence

(0062,0002)

1

Describes the Segments that are contained within the data.

One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.

Note

The Items of this Sequence are not required to be in any particular order, i.e., are not required to be ordered by Segment Number (0062,0004).

>Segment Algorithm Name

(0062,0009)

1C

>Segmentation Algorithm Identification Sequence

(0062,0007)

3

A description of how this Segment was derived.

Algorithm Name (0066,0036) within this Sequence may be identical to Segment Algorithm Name (0062,0009).

One or more Items are permitted in this Sequence.

Note

Previously, the Segment Surface Generation Algorithm Identification Code Sequence (0066,002D) was used, but it has been replaced in this Module, since not all segmentation algorithms involve surface generation. See PS3.3-2016d.

>>Include Table 10-19 “Algorithm Identification Macro Attributes”

BCID 7162 “Surface Processing Algorithm Family”.

>Recommended Display Grayscale Value

(0062,000C)

3

A default single gray unsigned value in which it is recommended that the maximum pixel value in this Segment be rendered on a monochrome display. The units are specified in P-Values from a minimum of 0000H (black) up to a maximum of FFFFH (white).

Note

The maximum P-Value for this Attribute may be different from the maximum P-Value from the output of the Presentation LUT, which may be less than 16 bits in depth.

>Recommended Display CIELab Value

(0062,000D)

3

A default triplet value in which it is recommended that Segment be rendered on a color display. The units are specified in PCS-Values, and the value is encoded as CIELab. See Section C.10.7.1.1.

Shall not be present if Segmentation Type (0062,0001) is LABELMAP and Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) is PALETTE COLOR.

C.8.20.2.1 Bits Allocated, Bits Stored, and High Bit

As a consequence of the Enumerated Values for Bits Allocated, Bits Stored, and High Bit Attributes, single bit pixels shall be packed 8 to a byte as defined by the encoding rules in PS3.5.
