D.3 Examples of Float and Double Float Pixel Data

Float Pixel Data having the Value Representation OF always has 32 bits allocated; the resulting byte streams pictured in Figure D.3-1 are as they would be transmitted across a network and/or stored on media.

Sample Float Pixel Data Byte Streams for VR = OF

Figure D.3-1. Sample Float Pixel Data Byte Streams for VR = OF


Double Float Pixel Data having the Value Representation OD always has 64 bits allocated; the resulting byte streams pictured in Figure D.3-2 are as they would be transmitted across a network and/or stored on media.

Sample Float Pixel Data Byte Streams for VR = OD
