public class RelatedSeriesSequence extends SequenceWrapper<RelatedSeriesSequence,RelatedSeriesSequence.Item>
Name: Related Series Sequence
Keyword: RelatedSeriesSequence
Tag: (0008,1250)
Value Representation: SQ
Value Multiplicity: 1
  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Related Series Sequence
    Type: 3
    Attribute Description:

    Identification of Series significantly related to this Series.

    One or more Items are permitted in this Sequence.

    Note
    1. For example, for a combined CT and PET acquisition, the CT images and PET images would be in separate Series that could cross-reference each other with multiple purpose of reference codes meaning same anatomy, simultaneously acquired and same indication.

    2. The related Series may have different Frames of Reference and hence require some sort of registration before spatial coordinates can be directly compared.

    3. This Attribute is not intended for conveying localizer reference information, for which Referenced Image Sequence (0008,1140) should be used.


  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Related Series Sequence
    Type: 1C
    Attribute Description:

    Identifying the Series that was used for attenuation purposes. See DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.7.3.1

    Required if another Series was used to perform attenuation correction and the SOP Class UID is not "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.128.1" (Legacy Converted). May be present otherwise.

    One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.
