Content Item Descriptions

Rows 2, 3, 4, 5

The HAS CONCEPT MOD items allow the explicit definition of terms for post-coordination of the measurement concept name. Additional post-coordinated modifier terms may be included in a SOP Instance based on this Template, in accordance with section 6.2.4, or as defined by Templates that invoke this Template and explicitly define additional post-coordinated modifiers (e.g., TID 5203).

Row 5

Finding site may be multiple when a region of interest spans multiple anatomical locations and there is not a single pre-coordinated code describing the combination of locations. E.g., when a maligant, inflammatory or traumatic process spans actual or defined anatomical boundaries. There is no requirement that the multiple locations be contiguous.

Rows 9, 10

The INFERRED FROM items allow the specification (by-value or by-reference) of numeric values that were used in the derivation of the numeric measurement of Row 1. The nature of the inference is not explicitly conveyed; it may be implicit in the Concept Names of the measurements. Inference by-reference is valid only in SOP Classes that permit the INFERRED FROM relationship by-reference.

Row 13

Multiple SCOORD Content Items may be necessary to describe the source of the measurement. E.g., the measurement of an angle between two non-intersecting line segments requires two separate POLYLINE SCOORD Content Items with the concept name of (121223, DCM, "Arm of angle") conveyed in $Purpose.

Rows 13, 14

(260753009, SCT, "Source") may be specified for $ImagePurpose or $WavePurpose as a generic Concept Name when there is a desire to avoid having an anonymous (unnamed) Content Item.

Rows 16, 16b

Equivalent Meaning of Concept Name allows the creating application to specify the preferred composed concept name representing the measurement and the associated post-coordinated concept modifiers. The concept modifiers may include those specified in this Template, in a Template that invokes this Template, or at the option of the creating application in accordance with Section 6.2.4. This composed concept name may be rendered by a display application. It may be supplied as text or coded concept or both.

Row 18

Row 18 is a reference to an RWV that describes how measurements were made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced in Row 13. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference overrides any reference in an including Template (such as for a Measurement Group).

TID 310 Measurement Properties

This Template provides the properties of a numeric measurement, including evaluations of its normality and/or significance, its relationship to a reference population, and an indication of its selection from a set of measurements.

TID 1000 Quotation

Unless otherwise specified, content in an SR tree is "directly" observed. When material is quoted (from a source that is either a document or something spoken), then it is necessary to specify:

  • the fact that one is quoting

  • who is doing the quoting

  • the source of the quote

  • who is being quoted, and who and what the quote is about

This Template establishes a mechanism for quoting by specifying:

  • the fact that one is quoting, by the presence of the contents of the Template in the tree

  • that the "observer context" above the invocation of this Template establishes who is doing the quoting

  • the source of the quote, by the values of the Content Items in this Template

  • who is being quoted, and who and what the quote is about, by the observation context that is established at the start of the quoted material

This Template may be invoked recursively, to nest quotes within quotes. In essence, the chain of who is quoting whom can be established by maintaining a "stack" of observer context.

If a dimension of observation context is the same in the quoted material as in the enclosing tree, then the observation context does not need to be respecified (e.g., the quote may be about the same subject or procedure). Typically, the observer context would change (unless one were quoting oneself).

In the case of quoting something that was spoken, the "observer" is the person speaking.

TID 1000 is attached using HAS OBS CONTEXT relationships to the top node of the material that is being quoted. The presence of the Quoted Source concept signals the fact that the material is quoted rather than directly observed.

TID 1001 Observation Context

Specifies attributes of observation context that may be defined, extended or replaced at any location in the SR tree.

This includes attributes that specify:

  • who or what the observation is about ("subject context")

  • what procedure the observation is about ("procedure study context")

  • who or what is making the observation ("observer context")

Establishing context includes two aspects of each dimension: identification and description (e.g., patient name and ID vs. patient's age, height or weight).

Whenever one dimension of context is changed or an attribute is added, all attributes of that dimension of context are "flushed", that is they need to be repeated in their entirety. For example, when the subject is changed from patient (name, id) to fetus (number), then the parameters of the patient are discarded. E.g., the patient's ID does not apply to the fetus.

"Extending" the same class and dimension of observation context isn't feasible, since one cannot "null out" or remove a previously set attribute. Any time a dimension of observation context is "replaced", any attributes that are unspecified remain unspecified (i.e., they are not inherited).

Whenever this Template is invoked, all previously inherited attributes of Observer Context are discarded and replaced.

There may be more than one observer, as this Template may be invoked with a VM 1-n, and both person and device observers. In such a case, the Content Items of TID 1003 “Person Observer Identifying Attributes” and TID 1004 “Device Observer Identifying Attributes” shall be included in the order in which the values of Observer Type are specified. Since TID 1003 “Person Observer Identifying Attributes” and TID 1004 “Device Observer Identifying Attributes” both include a single mandatory Content Item as their first Content Item, which observer is being described can be determined

  3. 3. A coded equivalent meaning for the Concept Value of a CODE Content Item can also be included using the Attribute Equivalent Code Sequence (0008,0121) in the Concept Code Sequence (0040, A168) (see Section 8.9 “Equivalent Code Sequence” in PS3.3 ).

TID 1350 Negation Modifier, Presence of Finding

Concept Name Modifier for negation of the presence of a finding represented by a post-coordinated concept.

Note

  1. For example, negation modifier applied to "distention" in the post-coordinated structure:

    CODE: "anatomic location" = "bile duct"

    > HAS PROPERTY CODE: "morphology" = "distention"

    >> HAS CONCEPT MOD CODE: "presence of property" = "absent"

    means: "bile duct distention not present"

  2. The presence-negation modifier modifies the entire post-coordinated concept, not just the Source Content Item of the HAS CONCEPT MOD relationship. The entire branch of the tree from the Content Item is included in the post-coordinated structure that is negated.

Content Item Descriptions

Row 1b

Identifies the session during which the measurements were made. The NCI Thesaurus definition is "time, period, or term devoted to some activity".

Rows 2, 3

The Tracking Identifier and Tracking Unique Identifier are defined as a text label or unique identifier (respectively) used for tracking a finding or feature, potentially across multiple reporting objects, over time. As such, they are distinct from the Observation UID (0040,A171), which is unique identifier of the specific Content Item and its subsidiary Content Items that constitute an individual observation, and would be different for different observations on different occasions of the same finding or feature. The values of these Content Items shall match the corresponding values of Tracking ID (0062,0020) and Tracking UID (0062,0021), if present, in the corresponding Segment of any Segmentation instance referenced in Row 7.

Rows 3a, 3b

The category and type of the finding describe whatever entity (finding or feature) is identified by Rows 2 and 3. E.g., a finding might be a lesion, a tumor, or a reference region (as distinct from its anatomical location, which is encoded in a different Content Item (Finding Site). When spatial localization is by reference to a Segmentation, the category and type may correspond to the values of Segmented Property Category Code Sequence (0062,0003) and Segmented Property Type Code Sequence (0062,000F), respectively. See also CID 7150 “Segmentation Property Category”.

Row 5

To describe an infinitely small area, such as the center of a lesion, a Graphic Type of POINT may be used.

Row 6

(260753009, SCT, "Source") may be used as a generic Concept Name when there is a desire to avoid having an anonymous (unnamed) Content Item.

Row 7

Referenced Frame Number (0008,1160) and Referenced Segment Number (0062,000B) are Attributes of the IMAGE Content Item.

If the Referenced Segmentation SOP Instance has Segmentation Type (0062,0001) value BINARY, it identifies the area of defined (measured) region of interest by pixel values in the referenced frame with value 1. For Segmentation Type value FRACTIONAL, the area is computed by an implementation dependent method.

Referenced Frame Number (0008,1160) may reference multiple frames in the same plane for tiled Segmentation Images (such as segmentations of Whole Slide Microscopy images).

Row 7b

The area may be defined independently of an image by reference to 3D coordinates in any type of DICOM Reference Coordinate System, whether it be patient-relative (Patient Based Coordinate System), volume-relative (including acquired and presentation state volumes), or whole slide relative (Slide Coordinate System).

Row 8

Identifies the source image that was segmented to identify the ROI, and whose properties are described in this container.

Rows 8b, 8c

A reference to a single ROI that defines a planar ROI, within an RT Structure Set.

Row 9

This referenced image may contain a "screen shot" illustrating a rendered version of the ROI.

Row 9b

This referenced image may contain a visual explanation of how an algorithm produces its results, and may be a "screen shot" of the explanation already superimposed on the source image (e.g., a "heat map"), or a parametric map intended to be superimposed on the source image by the receiving application. The type of image and the type of visual explanation is described in the referenced image's own metadata. More than one referenced image may be present, if there is more than one type of visual explanation, or it needs to span more than one single-frame image.

Row 10

The reference to an RWV in Row 10 allows measurements to be made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced elsewhere in the Template. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference applies to any measurements in included Templates, unless overridden).

Row 11

Measurements may be omitted, for example if it is desired to describe only the location of a finding or to provide categorical information about it.

Rows 12, 12b, 13

Allows encoding a flat list of name-value pairs that are coded questions with coded or text answers, for example, to record categorical observations related to the subject of the measurement group. A single level of coded modifiers may be present.

TID 1411 Volumetric ROI Measurements and Qualitative Evaluations

This Template provides a general structure to report measurements for some metric, e.g., density, flow, or concentration, and/or qualitative evaluations, over a volumetric region of interest in a set of images or a Frame of Reference. The volumetric ROI may be specified by a set of SCOORDs on an image set representing a volume, by a volumetric Segmentation Image, by a volume defined in a Surface Segmentation, by a set of SCOORD3Ds defining a volume relative to a 3D Frame of Reference, or by a reference to an ROI defined in a radiotherapy Structure Set.

Content Item Descriptions

Row 1b

Identifies the session during which the measurements were made. The NCI Thesaurus definition is "time, period, or term devoted to some activity".

Rows 2, 3

The Tracking Identifier and Tracking Unique Identifier are defined as a text label or unique identifier (respectively) used for tracking a finding or feature, potentially across multiple reporting objects, over time. As such, they are distinct from the Observation UID (0040,A171), which is unique identifier of the specific Content Item and its subsidiary Content Items that constitute an individual observation, and would be different for different observations on different occasions of the same finding or feature. The values of these Content Items shall match the corresponding values of Tracking ID (0062,0020) and Tracking UID (0062,0021), if present, in the corresponding Segment of any Segmentation instance referenced in Row 7.

Rows 3a, 3b

The type and category of the finding describe whatever entity (finding or feature) is identified by Rows 2 and 3. E.g., a finding might be a lesion, a tumor, or a reference region (as distinct from its anatomical location, which is encoded in a different Content Item (Finding Site). When spatial localization is by reference to a Segmentation, the category and type may correspond to the values of Segmented Property Category Code Sequence (0062,0003) and Segmented Property Type Code Sequence (0062,000F), respectively. See also CID 7150 “Segmentation Property Category”.

Row 5

Even though the coordinates are image-relative, not every image slice within the spatial extent of the ROI is required to be encoded. That is, the ROI may be more coarsely sampled than the image slices, and may be irregularly sampled, and the omission of a contour on a slice does not mean that it is omitted from the ROI. For example, a user may not draw an outline on every slice. However, failure to include every intermediate slice does give rise to this potential ambiguity, and is discouraged.

Rows 5, 7, 10

A single invocation of TID 1411 defines the entire spatial extent defined of a single ROI.

A single structure with multiple fragments disconnected in spatial extent needs to be described as separate ROIs, in separate invocations of TID 1411, with different Tracking Identifiers and Tracking Unique Identifiers, but the same Finding.

Rows 5, 10

To describe an infinitely small volume, such as the center of a lesion, a Graphic Type of POINT may be used.

Row 6

(260753009, SCT, "Source") may be used as a generic Concept Name when there is a desire to avoid having an anonymous (unnamed) Content Item.

Rows 6, 7

Referenced Segment Number (0062,000B) is an Attribute of the IMAGE Content Item, and shall be present with a single value.

If the Referenced SOP Instance is a Segmentation Image, it shall have a defined Frame of Reference. If it has Segmentation Type (0062,0001) value BINARY, it identifies the volume of defined (measured) region of interest by voxel values in the referenced segment with value 1. If it has Segmentation Type value FRACTIONAL, the volume is defined by an implementation dependent method. The extent, sampling rate and orientation of the Segmentation are not required to match that of corresponding image slices (if any), identified in Row 11 or referenced from the Segmentation.

If the referenced SOP Instance is a Surface Segmentation, the referenced segment shall constitute a finite volume. It identifies the volume of the defined (measured) region of interest by the interior of the finite volume.

Segment number shall be specified even if the Segmentation SOP Instance has only a single segment.

Row 10

Either a single item describing a closed volumetric surface, or multiple items describing a set of parallel closed coplanar areas (contours) is specified.

The sampling rate and orientation of the contours is not required to match that of any image slices (if any), nor are the in-plane or cross-plane sampling rates required to be regular.

Row 11

Identifies the source images that were segmented to identify the ROI, when, for example a subset of images in a series was used.

Row 12

Identifies the source series of images that were segmented to identify the ROI, when, for example an entire set of images in a series was used.

Rows 12b, 12c

A reference to a single ROI that defines a volumetric ROI, within an RT Structure Set.

Row 13

These referenced images may contain "screen shot" illustrating rendered versions of the ROI.

Row 13b

This referenced image may contain a visual explanation of how an algorithm produces its results, and may be a "screen shot" of the explanation already superimposed on the source image (e.g., a "heat map"), or a parametric map intended to be superimposed on the source image by the receiving application. The type of image and the type of visual explanation is described in the referenced image's own metadata. More than one referenced image may be present, if there is more than one type of visual explanation, or it needs to span more than one single-frame image.

Row 14

The reference to an RWV in Row 14 allows measurements to be made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced elsewhere in the Template. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference applies to any measurements in included Templates, unless overridden).

Row 15

Measurements may be omitted, for example if it is desired to describe only the location of a finding or to provide categorical information about it.

Rows 16, 16b, 17

Allows encoding a flat list of name-value pairs that are coded questions with coded or text answers, for example, to record categorical observations related to the subject of the measurement group. A single level of coded modifiers may be present.
