#### A.3.2.2 Mapping Considerations

The goal of this document is to specify a mapping between constrained AIM v4 instances and TID 1500 Measurement Report DICOM SR documents. The following limitations apply to AIM instances that are mapped to DICOM SR Measurement Reports:

- Subject Context: The DICOM SR TID 1500 Measurement Report is restricted to cover exactly one patient subject; the mapping of subject context of fetuses, specimens or devices as subjects is out of scope. Small or large animal identifiers and descriptors (beyond reuse of the normal patient identifiers) are not specifically addressed since no such identifiers are present in the AIM model (e.g., multiple animals imaged as one, and strain descriptions are out of scope).

- The mapping of DICOM SR clinical trial header data (Clinical Trial Subject Module, Clinical Trial Study Module, Clinical Trial Series Module) is not described since no such identifiers are present in the AIM model.

- The transformation of de-identified objects is not specifically addressed in this mapping, since AIM does not address encoding of the history of de-identification explicitly. I.e., identifiers will be converted unchanged and whether they have been de-identified will not be explicitly signaled.

- A subset of spatial coordinate types are mapped, to the extent that both AIM and DICOM SR support the same graphic concepts.
