public class DXImage
extends Image

The Digital X-Ray (DX) Image Information Object Definition specifies an image that has been created by a digital projection radiography imaging device.

Notes:

1. This includes but is not limited to: chest radiography, linear and multi-directional tomography, orthopantomography and skeletal radiography. Acquisition of image data may include but is not limited to: CCD-based sensors, stimulable phosphor imaging plates, amorphous selenium, scintillation based amorphous silicon and secondary capture of film-based images.

2. Specific IODs are defined for intra-oral radiography and mammography that further specialize the DX IOD.

A DX image shall consist of the result of a single X-Ray exposure, in order to ensure that the anatomical and orientation attributes are meaningful for the image, permitting safe annotation, appropriate image processing and appropriate dissemination.

Notes:

1. This requirement specifically deprecates the common film/screen and Computed Radiography practice of making multiple exposures on different areas of a cassette or plate by using lead occlusion between exposures. Such acquisitions could be separated and transformed into multiple DX images during an appropriate quality assurance step by an operator.

2. This requirement does not deprecate the acquisition of multiple paired structures during a single exposure, provided that they can be described by the relevant orientation Attributes. For example, an AP or PA projection of both hands side by side is typically obtained in a single exposure, and can be described by a Patient Orientation (0020,0020) of R\H or L\H since both hands are in the same traditional Anatomical Position. See PS 3.17 annex on Explanation of Patient Orientation.

The DX Image IOD is used in two SOP Classes as defined in PS 3.4 Storage Service Class, a SOP Class for storage of images intended for presentation, and a SOP Class for storage of images intended for further processing before presentation. These are distinguished by their SOP Class UID and by the Enumerated Value of the mandatory Attribute in the DX Series Module, Presentation Intent Type (0008,0068).

Method Detail

init

getDXSeriesModule

public final DXSeriesModule getDXSeriesModule()

Get DX Series Module.

The DX Series module is an extension of General Series module. It is therefore not necessary to make use of the Composite#getGeneralSeriestModule(), as the DXSeriesModule contains all of its attributes already.

Returns:

The DX Series modules with the embedded General Series module.

getContrastBolusModule

public final ContrastBolusModule getContrastBolusModule()

getDeviceModule

public final DeviceModule getDeviceModule()

getDXAnatomyImageModule

public final DXAnatomyImagedModule getDXAnatomyImageModule()

getDXImageModule

public final DXImageModule getDXImageModule()

Get DX Image Module.

The DXImageModule inherits both the ImagePixel and the GeneralImageModule, so you don't need to make use of the Image.getGeneralImageModule().

Returns:

The DX Image Module with embedded the Image Pixel Macro and General Image Module.
