## A.52 Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD

This Section defines an Information Object to be used with optical ophthalmic tomographic imaging devices, including optical coherence scanners and confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes, but excluding ophthalmic ultrasound devices.

### A.52.1 Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD Description

The Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD specifies a single-frame or a multi-frame image acquired on an Ophthalmic Tomography modality. This IOD can be used to encode both single and multi-frame ophthalmic images.

### A.52.2 Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD Entity-Relationship Model

The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Information Model that directly reference the Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD. Table A.52.3-1 specifies the Modules of the Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD.

### A.52.3 Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD Modules

### A.52.4 Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD Content Constraints

The following constraints on Image attributes take precedence over the descriptions given in the Module Attribute Tables.

#### A.52.4.1 Contrast/Bolus Agent Sequence

For Contrast/Bolus Agent Sequence (0018,0012), the Defined Context Group is 4200.

#### A.52.4.2 Overlay Plane Module and VOI LUT Module

The Overlay Plane Module and VOI LUT Module shall not be used in a Standard Extended SOP Class of the Ophthalmic Tomography Image.

### Note

In order to annotate images, whether during acquisition or subsequently, SOP Instances of the Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State Storage or the Structured Report Storage SOP Classes that reference the image SOP Instance may be used.

Pseudo-color presentation information may be applied through the use of separate Pseudo-color Softcopy Presentation State SOP instances.

No standard mechanism is provided for inclusion of annotations within the image SOP Instance itself and implementers are discouraged from using private extensions to circumvent this restriction.

#### A.52.4.3 Ophthalmic Tomography Image Functional Group Macros

Table A.52.4.3-1 specifies the use of the Functional Group Macros used in the Multi-frame Functional Group Module for the Ophthalmic Tomography Image IOD.

Table A.52.4.3-1. Ophthalmic Tomography Functional Group Macros
