The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Information Model that directly reference the Video Endoscopic Image IOD, with exception of the VOI LUT, and Modality LUT entities, which are not used. Table A.32.5-1 specifies the Modules of the Video Endoscopic Image IOD.
The video may include audio channel(s) for acquiring patient voice or physiological sounds, healthcare professionals' commentary, or environmental sounds.
The Frame Pointers Module has not been included because the selection of relevant sub-sequence(s) is usually made in a second workflow step and stored into separate Key Object Selection Documents.
The Curve entity was previously include in the list of entities that are not used, but has been retired from DICOM. It is still not used in this IOD. See PS3.3-2004.
