public class DistanceSourceToPatient extends AbstractDataElementWrapper implements DecimalStringWrapper
Name: Distance Source to Patient
Keyword: DistanceSourceToPatient
Tag: (0018,1111)
Value Representation: DS
Value Multiplicity: 1
  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Distance Source to Patient
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Distance in mm from source to the breast support side that is closest to the Imaging Subject, as measured along the X-Ray beam vector.

    Note

    1. This value is traditionally referred to as Source Object Distance (SOD).

    2. See notes for this Attribute in DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.5 DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.5.

    3. See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.7.1.1 for description of X-Ray beam vector.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Distance Source to Patient
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Distance in mm from source to center of field of view.

    Note

    1. This value is traditionally referred to as Source Object Distance (SOD).

    2. For cardiovascular image equipment the SOD value typically is the distance from source to isocenter.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Distance Source to Patient
    Type: 1
    Attribute Description:

    Distance in mm from source to the breast support side that is closest to the Imaging Subject, as measured along the X-Ray beam vector.

    Note

    1. This value is traditionally referred to as Source Object Distance (SOD).

    2. See notes for this Attribute in DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.5 DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.5.

    3. See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.7.1.1 for description of X-Ray beam vector.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Distance Source to Patient
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Distance in mm from source to the table, support or bucky side that is closest to the Imaging Subject, as measured along the central ray of the X-Ray beam.

    Note

    1. This definition is less useful in terms of estimating geometric magnification than a measurement to a defined point within the Imaging Subject, but accounts for what is realistically measurable in an automated fashion in a clinical setting.

    2. This measurement does not take into account any air gap between the Imaging Subject and the "front" of the table or bucky.

    3. If the detector is not mounted in a table or bucky, then the actual position relative to the patient is implementation or operator defined.

    4. This value is traditionally referred to as Source Object Distance (SOD).

    See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.11.7 for explanation if Positioner Type (0018,1508) is MAMMOGRAPHIC.
