public class ImageLaterality
extends AbstractDataElementWrapper
implements CodeStringWrapper

Name: Image Laterality
Keyword: ImageLaterality
Tag: (0020,0062)
Value Representation: CS
Value Multiplicity: 1

• Described in the contexts:
  • Ophthalmic Thickness Map Module > Image Laterality
  • Corneal Topography Map Image Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 1
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of object imaged (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right eye

  L

  left eye

  Note

  This Attribute is mandatory, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display.

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present.

  Note

  Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • General Image Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 3
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of (possibly paired) body part (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  U

  unpaired

  B

  both left and right

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230) and/or Laterality (0020,0060), if present.

  Note

  Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Ocular Region Imaged Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 1
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of object imaged (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right eye

  L

  left eye

  B

  both left and right eye

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present.

  Note

  Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series. Since most Ophthalmic Photographic Image Series contain images of both eyes, the Series level Attribute will rarely be present.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Intra-Oral Image Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 1
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of the region examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  B

  both (i.e., midline)

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230) and/or Laterality (0020,0060), if present.

  Note

  Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Presentation View Description Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 2
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of (possibly paired) body part (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218) ) examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  U

  unpaired

  B

  both left and right

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Raw Data Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 3
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of (possibly paired) body part examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  U

  unpaired

  B

  both left and right

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Encapsulated Document Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 3
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of the (possibly paired) body part that is the subject of the encapsulated document.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  U

  unpaired

  B

  both left and right

  If Modality (0008,0060) is M3D, then values for this Attribute shall refer to the intended placement of the created object regardless of how it was generated (see also DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.35.1).

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Mammography Image Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 1
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of the region examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  B

  both (e.g., cleavage)

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230) and/or Laterality (0020,0060), if present.

  Note

  Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • VL Image Module > Image Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Image Laterality
  Type: 3
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of (possibly paired) body part (as described in Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218)) examined.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  U

  unpaired

  B

  both left and right

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), Anatomic Region Modifier Sequence (0008,2220), and/or Laterality (0020,0060), if present.

  Note

  1. Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.

  2. There is no value for median, for which Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230) or Anatomic Region Modifier Sequence (0008,2220) may be used instead.

  L

  left

  U

  unpaired

  B

  both left and right

  Note

  This Attribute is mandatory, in order to ensure that images may be positioned correctly relative to one another for display.

  Shall be consistent with any laterality information contained in Primary Anatomic Structure Modifier Sequence (0008,2230), if present.

  Note

  Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Images in the Series, hence it must be absent if Image Laterality (0020,0062) has different values for Images in the same Series.
