#### A.32.2.2 VL Microscopic Image IOD Entity-Relationship Model

The E-R Model in Section A.1.2 depicts those components of the DICOM Information Model that are referenced by the VL Microscopic Image IOD. Below the Series IE, only the Image IE is used, which represents a Single Frame image. Table A.32.1-2 specifies the Modules of the VL Microscopic Image IOD.

### Note

1. 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.

2. The Specimen Identification Module was previously included in this IOD but has been retired, and its functionality replaced by the Specimen Module. See PS3.3-2008.
