Attribute Name | Tag | Type | Attribute Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Exposure Index | (0018,1411) | 3 | Measure of the detector response to radiation in the relevant image region of an image acquired with a digital x-ray imaging system as defined in IEC 62494-1. ### Note A string rather than binary Value Representation is used for this Attribute, in order to allow the sender to control the precision of the value as suggested in the report of AAPM Task Group 116. This index value is scaled as defined by IEC 62494-1.
Target Exposure Index | (0018,1412) | 3 | The target value used to calculate Deviation Index (0018,1413) as defined in IEC 62494-1.
