AAAA.4 Single XA Device For Acquisition and Reconstruction

AAAA.4 Single XA Device For Acquisition and Reconstruction (Current)
Prev	AAAA Protocol Storage Examples and Concepts (Informative)	Next

This example is intended to illustrate the encoding mechanisms of the DICOM XA Protocol Storage IODs, not to suggest particular values for clinical use. Further, this example does not contain the many detailed Attributes one would expect from a fully executable defined protocol generated by an XA device, but it demonstrates the usage of many common Attributes.

This section includes one Defined Protocol example of an Adult Carotid Stenting Protocol for one XA device model, developed for a fictitious Mercy Hospital. It contains the following protocol elements:

Three Acquisition Protocol Elements corresponding to Fluoroscopy, DSA and Rotational acquisition modes.
One Reconstruction Protocol Element corresponding to the 3D reconstruction of the rotational acquisition images.

AAAA.4.1 Common Context

Table AAAA.4-1 contains the attributes that are basically the same for each model of equipment from the same manufacturer. The Table AAAA.4-2 contains the attributes specific to one model of equipment.
