Y.3.3 New Instance Creation At the Frame Level

When a C-MOVE or C-GET operation is performed on a source Composite Instance at the FRAME level then the SCP shall create a new Composite Instance according to the following rules:

Note

The new Composite Instance is required to be internally consistent and valid. This may require the SCP to make consistent modification of any Attributes that reference frames or the relationship between them such as start time, time offsets, and modifying the Per-Frame Functional Group Sequence (5200,9230).

Note

The existing General Equipment Module cannot be used to hold details of the creating equipment, as it is a Series level Module. The new Composite Instance is part of the same Series as the source Instance, and therefore the Series level information cannot be altered.

Note

In most cases private Attributes should not be copied unless their full significance is known. See Annex MM “Considerations For Applications Creating New Images From Multi-frame Images” in PS3.17 for more guidance.
