public class ImagerPixelSpacing extends AbstractDataElementWrapper implements DecimalStringMultiWrapper
Name: Imager Pixel Spacing
Keyword: ImagerPixelSpacing
Tag: (0018,1164)
Value Representation: DS
Value Multiplicity: 2
  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Imager Pixel Spacing
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Physical distance measured at the front plane of the Image Receptor housing between the center of each pixel. Specified by a numeric pair - row spacing value (delimiter) column spacing value - in mm.

    In the case of a photographic camera, the front plane is defined to be the focal plane.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Imager Pixel Spacing
    Type: 1
    Attribute Description:

    Physical distance measured at the front plane of the detector housing between the center of each image pixel specified by a numeric pair - row spacing value(delimiter) column spacing value in mm. See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section 10.7.1.3 for further explanation of the value order.

    The value of this Attribute shall never be adjusted to account for correction for the effect of geometric magnification or calibration against an object of known size; Pixel Spacing (0028,0030) is specified for that purpose.

  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Imager Pixel Spacing
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Physical distance measured at the front plane of the Image Receptor housing between the center of each pixel. Specified by a numeric pair - row spacing value (delimiter) column spacing value - in mm.

    In the case of CR, the front plane is defined to be the external surface of the CR plate closest to the patient and radiation source.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Imager Pixel Spacing
    Type: 1C
    Attribute Description:

    Physical distance measured at the receptor plane of the detector between the centers of each pixel specified by a numeric pair - row spacing value (delimiter) column spacing value in mm.

    Required if present and consistent in the contributing SOP Instances.
