Class MeasurementLaterality

All Implemented Interfaces:
AttributesWrapper, DataElementWrapper, BytesDataElementWrapper, CodeStringWrapper, StringDataElementWrapper

public class MeasurementLaterality extends AbstractDataElementWrapper implements CodeStringWrapper
Name: Measurement Laterality
Keyword: MeasurementLaterality
Tag: (0024,0113)
Value Representation: CS
Value Multiplicity: 1
  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Measurement Laterality
    Type: 1
    Attribute Description:

    Laterality of body part (eye) examined.

    See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.8.26.4.1.1 for further explanation.

    Enumerated Values:

    R

    right

    L

    left

    B

    both left and right together

    Note

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

    Note

    Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Measurements in the Series, hence it must be absent if multiple instances from different eyes are encoded.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Measurement Laterality
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Laterality of refractive measurement performed.

    Enumerated Values:

    R

    right

    L

    left

    B

    both left and right together

    Note
    1. Laterality (0020,0060) is a Series level Attribute and must be the same for all Measurements in the Series, hence it must be absent if multiple instances from different eyes or lenses are encoded.

    2. Needs to be consistent with any other laterality information contained at the Measurement level.
