  Enumerated Values:

  AVERAGE_IP

  A method that projects the mean intensity of all interpolated samples that fall in the path of each ray traced from the viewpoint to the plane of projection.

  MAXIMUM_IP

  A method that projects the interpolated sample with maximum intensity that fall in the path of each ray traced from the viewpoint to the plane of projection.

  MINIMUM_IP

  A method that projects the interpolated sample with minimum intensity that fall in the path of each ray traced from the viewpoint to the plane of projection.

  Required if MPR Thickness Type (0070,1502) is present with a value of SLAB.
