    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Spacing Between Slices
      Type: 2
      Attribute Description:

      Spacing between slices, in mm, measured from center-to-center of each slice along the normal to the first image. The sign of the Spacing Between Slices (0018,0088) determines the direction of stacking. The normal is determined by the cross product of the direction cosines of the first row and first column of the first frame, such that a positive spacing indicates slices are stacked behind the first slice and a negative spacing indicates slices are stacked in front of the first slice. See Image Orientation (0020,0037) in the DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.4.11.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Spacing Between Slices
      Type: 3
      Attribute Description:

      Spacing between adjacent slices, in mm. The spacing is measured from the center-to-center of each slice.

      If present, shall not be negative, unless specialized to define the meaning of the sign in a specialized IOD, e.g., as in the DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.4.15.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Spacing Between Slices
      Type: 3
      Attribute Description:

      Spacing between 3D reconstructed slices, in mm. The spacing is measured from the center-to-center of each slice.

      Note

      Slice overlap may be constrained implicitly by constraining the Slice Thickness (0018,0050) and Spacing Between Slices (0018,0088). However, since each constraint is considered independently, the overlap may be any value resulting from the combination of allowable values for thickness and spacing.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Spacing Between Slices
      Type: 1C
      Attribute Description:

      Spacing between adjacent slices, in mm. The spacing is measured from the center-to-center of each slice, and if present shall not be negative.

      Required if Dimension Organization Type (0020,9311) is TILED_FULL and Total Pixel Matrix Focal Planes (0048,0303) is greater than 1. May be present otherwise.

      Note

      In the case of Whole Slide Images, Spacing Between Slices (0018,0088) describes the spacing of focal planes separately encoded, and is distinct from Distance Between Focal Planes (0048,0014), which describes in what manner different focal planes were combined into a single encoded plane (focus stacking).


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Spacing Between Slices
      Type: 1
      Attribute Description:

      Spacing between slices, in mm. The spacing is measured from the center-to-center of each slice.

      Note

      Slice overlap may be constrained implicitly by constraining the Slice Thickness (0018,0050) and Spacing Between Slices (0018,0088). However, since each constraint is considered independently, the overlap may be any value resulting from the combination of allowable values for thickness and spacing.


    • Described in the contexts: as follows:
      Attribute Name: Spacing Between Slices
      Type: 1
      Attribute Description:

      Spacing between adjacent slices, in mm. The spacing is measured from the center-to-center of each slice, and shall not be negative.
