### C.18.3 Composite Object Reference Macro

Table C.18.3-1 specifies the Attributes that convey a reference to a DICOM Composite Object that is not a DICOM Image or Waveform (such as an SR Document), or to an HL7 Structured Document.

### Note

1. If a Softcopy Presentation State is to be applied to an Image, it should be referenced by an Image Reference Macro.

2. Other SR Documents may be referenced by this macro, but there is no facility to reference individual Content Items within those reports.

3. HL7 Structured Documents include, in particular, those conforming to the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA). See Section C.12.1.1.6 for further details about this type of referenced object.
