Primary Anatomic Structure Sequence

(0008,2228)

1C

Sequence that describes the primary anatomic structures of interest in this image.

See Section C.8.11.9.1.1 for further explanation.

Required if Anatomic Region Modifier Sequence (0008,2220) is not sent.

One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.

>Include Table 8.8-1 “Code Sequence Macro Attributes” .

Defined CID 4018 “Primary Anatomic Structure for Intra-oral Radiography (permanent Dentition - Designation of Teeth)” or CID 4019 “Primary Anatomic Structure for Intra-oral Radiography (Deciduous Dentition - Designation of Teeth)”. See Section C.8.11.9.1.1 for further explanation.


C.8.11.9.1 Intra-Oral Image Attribute Descriptions
C.8.11.9.1.1 Primary Anatomic Structure Sequence

Code Value (0008,0100) shall be drawn from the DICOM Content Mapping Resource, CID 4018 “Primary Anatomic Structure for Intra-oral Radiography (permanent Dentition - Designation of Teeth)”, for permanent dentition, or CID 4019 “Primary Anatomic Structure for Intra-oral Radiography (Deciduous Dentition - Designation of Teeth)” for deciduous dentition.

These Context Groups correspond to ISO 3950-1984 that describes a designation of permanent and deciduous dentition using a two digit code, the first digit of which designates a quadrant, and the second digit a tooth.

The teeth imaged shall be listed as multiple Items in the Primary Anatomic Structure Sequence (0008,2228).
