public class Laterality
extends AbstractDataElementWrapper
implements CodeStringWrapper

Name: Laterality
Keyword: Laterality
Tag: (0020,0060)
Value Representation: CS
Value Multiplicity: 1

• Described in the contexts:
  • General Series Module > Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Laterality
  Type: 2C
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of (paired) body part examined. Required if the body part examined is a paired structure and Image Laterality (0020,0062) or Frame Laterality (0020,9072) or Measurement Laterality (0024,0113) are not present.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  right

  L

  left

  Note

  1. Some IODs support Image Laterality (0020,0062) at the Image level or Frame Laterality (0020,9072) at the Frame level in the Frame Anatomy Functional Group Macro or Measurement Laterality (0024,0113) at the Measurement level, which can provide a more comprehensive mechanism for specifying the laterality of the body part(s) being examined.

  2. There is no value for both left and right, for which Image Laterality (0020,0062) at the Image level or Frame Laterality (0020,9072) may be used instead.

  3. 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.

  
  
• Described in the contexts:
  • Hanging Protocol Definition Module > Hanging Protocol Definition Sequence > Laterality
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: Laterality
  Type: 2C
  Attribute Description:

  Laterality of the body part to which this Hanging Protocol applies.

  Enumerated Values:

  R

  Right

  L

  Left

  B

  Both

  U

  Unpaired

  Zero length means not applicable.

  Required if Anatomic Region Sequence (0008,2218) is present.
