  • 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 NM Detector Module.


  • 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: 1
    Attribute Description:

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

    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.
