    Value Multiplicity: 1
    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Patient Position
      Type: 1C
      Attribute Description:

      Patient position descriptor relative to the equipment. Required if Patient Additional Position (300A,0184) is not present. See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.8.12.1.2 for Defined Terms and further explanation.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Patient Position
      Type: 3
      Attribute Description:

      Patient position descriptor relative to the equipment. See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.7.1.4.1.1.1.

      See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.7.3.1.1.2 for Defined Terms and further explanation.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Patient Position
      Type: 3
      Attribute Description:

      Description of imaging subject's position relative to the equipment.

      See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.7.3.1.1.2 for Defined Terms and further explanation.

      If present, shall be consistent with Patient Gantry Relationship Code Sequence (0054,0414) and Patient Orientation Modifier Code Sequence (0054,0412).


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Patient Position
      Type: 1C
      Attribute Description:

      Patient position descriptor relative to the patient support device.

      Required if Isocenter Position (300A,012C) is present. May be present otherwise.

      See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.8.12.1.2 for Defined Terms and further explanation.

      Note

      The orientation of the patient relative to the patient support device is denoted in the same manner as in the DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.8.12. It defines the relation of the DICOM Patient-Based Coordinate System identified by the DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.7.4.1 of the RT Image to the IEC coordinate system and together with Isocenter Position (300A,012C) allows the RT Image to be placed into the Patient Frame of Reference. It also allows a system using an RT Image to verify that the patient is setup in a similar position relative to the patient support device.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Patient Position
      Type: 2C
      Attribute Description:

      Patient position descriptor relative to the equipment. Required for images where Patient Orientation Code Sequence (0054,0410) is not present and whose SOP Class is one of the following: CT ("1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2") or MR ("1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4") or Enhanced CT ("1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2.1") or Enhanced MR Image ("1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.1") or Enhanced Color MR Image ("1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.3") or MR Spectroscopy ("1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4.2") Storage SOP Classes.

      May be present for other SOP Classes if Patient Orientation Code Sequence (0054,0410) is not present.

      See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.7.3.1.1.2 for Defined Terms and further explanation.
