|
Recognizable Visual Features |
(0028,0302) |

Specifies the intended interpretation of the pixel data.
Enumerated Values:
The Image Type attribute (0008,0008) (General Image Module, Section C.7.6.1) identifies important image characteristics in a multiple valued data element. For the Ophthalmic Photography Image IOD, Image Type is specified as a Type 1 attribute and further specialized as follows:
Value 1 shall identify the Pixel Data Characteristics in accordance with Section C.7.6.1.1.2.
Enumerated Values for Value 1:
Value 2 shall identify the Patient Examination Characteristics in accordance with Section C.7.6.1.1.2.
Enumerated Values for Value 2:
Value 3 shall only be present if Value 1 is DERIVED.
