Content Item Descriptions

Rows 2, 3, 4, 5 | The HAS CONCEPT MOD items allow the explicit definition of terms for post-coordination of the measurement concept name. Additional post-coordinated modifier terms may be included in a SOP Instance based on this Template, in accordance with section 6.2.4, or as defined by Templates that invoke this Template and explicitly define additional post-coordinated modifiers (e.g., TID 5203).
Row 5 | Finding site may be multiple when a region of interest spans multiple anatomical locations and there is not a single pre-coordinated code describing the combination of locations. E.g., when a maligant, inflammatory or traumatic process spans actual or defined anatomical boundaries. There is no requirement that the multiple locations be contiguous.
Rows 9, 10 | The INFERRED FROM items allow the specification (by-value or by-reference) of numeric values that were used in the derivation of the numeric measurement of Row 1. The nature of the inference is not explicitly conveyed; it may be implicit in the Concept Names of the measurements. Inference by-reference is valid only in SOP Classes that permit the INFERRED FROM relationship by-reference.
Row 16 | Equivalent Meaning of Concept Name allows the creating application to specify the preferred composed concept name representing the measurement and the associated post-coordinated concept modifiers. The concept modifiers may include those specified in this Template, in a Template that invokes this Template, or at the option of the creating application in accordance with section 6.2.4. This composed concept name may be rendered by a display application.
Row 18 | Row 18 is a reference to an RWV that describes how measurements were made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced in Row 13. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference overrides any reference in an including Template (such as for a Measurement Group).

### TID 1000 Quotation

Unless otherwise specified, content in an SR tree is "directly" observed. When material is quoted (from a source that is either a document or something spoken), then it is necessary to specify:

- the fact that one is quoting

- who is doing the quoting

- the source of the quote

- who is being quoted, and who and what the quote is about

This Template establishes a mechanism for quoting by specifying:

- the fact that one is quoting, by the presence of the contents of the Template in the tree

- that the "observer context" above the invocation of this Template establishes who is doing the quoting

- the source of the quote, by the values of the Content Items in this Template

- who is being quoted, and who and what the quote is about, by the observation context that is established at the start of the quoted material

This Template may be invoked recursively, to nest quotes within quotes. In essence, the chain of who is quoting whom can be established by maintaining a "stack" of observer context.

If a dimension of observation context is the same in the quoted material as in the enclosing tree, then the observation context does not need to be respecified (e.g., the quote may be about the same subject or procedure). Typically, the observer context would change (unless one were quoting oneself).

In the case of quoting something that was spoken, the "observer" is the person speaking.

TID 1000 is attached using HAS OBS CONTEXT relationships to the top node of the material that is being quoted. The presence of the Quoted Source concept signals the fact that the material is quoted rather than directly observed.

3 |  | HAS OBS CONTEXT | INCLUDE | DTID 1001 “Observation Context” | 1 | M |  |

### TID 1001 Observation Context

Specifies attributes of observation context that may be defined, extended or replaced at any location in the SR tree.

This includes attributes that specify:

- who or what the observation is about ("subject context")

- what procedure the observation is about ("procedure context")

- who or what is making the observation ("observer context")

Establishing context includes two aspects of each dimension: identification and description (e.g., patient name and ID vs. patient's age, height or weight).

Whenever one dimension of context is changed or an attribute is added, all attributes of that dimension of context are "flushed", that is they need to be repeated in their entirety. For example, when the subject is changed from patient (name, id) to fetus (number), then the parameters of the patient are discarded. E.g., the patient's ID does not apply to the fetus.

"Extending" the same class and dimension of observation context isn't feasible, since one cannot "null out" or remove a previously set attribute. Any time a dimension of observation context is "replaced", any attributes that are unspecified remain unspecified (i.e., they are not inherited).

### TID 1002 Observer Context

The observer (person or device) that created the Content Items to which this context applies.

Whenever this Template is invoked, all previously inherited attributes of Observer Context are discarded and replaced.

There may be more than one observer, as this Template may be invoked with a VM 1-n, and both person and device observers. In such a case, the Content Items of TID 1003 “Person Observer Identifying Attributes” and TID 1004 “Device Observer Identifying Attributes” shall be included in the order in which the values of Observer Type are specified. Since TID 1003 “Person Observer Identifying Attributes” and TID 1004 “Device Observer Identifying Attributes” both include a single mandatory Content Item as their first Content Item, which observer is being described can be determined

Whenever this Template is invoked, all previously inherited attributes of Procedure Context are discarded and replaced.

### Note

2. For example, to specify a concept name and value in both French and English in Canada:

   CODE:(T-D0005, SRT, "Anatomical structure") = (T-04000, SRT, "Breast")

   > HAS CONCEPT MOD CODE: (121048, DCM, "Language of name and value") = (en-CA, RFC3066, "English, Canada")

   >> HAS CONCEPT MOD CODE: (121047, DCM, " Langue de la valeur ") = (fr-CA, RFC3066, " Français, Candie ")

3. 3. A coded equivalent meaning for the Concept Value of a CODE Content Item can also be included using the attribute Equivalent Code Sequence (0008,0121) in the Concept Code Sequence (0040, A168) (see Section 8.9 “Equivalent Code Sequence” in PS3.3 ).

### TID 1350 Negation Modifier, Presence of Finding

Concept Name Modifier for negation of the presence of a finding represented by a post-coordinated concept.

### Note

1. For example, negation modifier applied to "distention" in the post-coordinated structure:

   CODE: "anatomic location" = "bile duct"

   > HAS PROPERTY CODE: "morphology" = "distention"

   >> HAS CONCEPT MOD CODE: "presence of property" = "absent"

   means: "bile duct distention not present"

2. The presence-negation modifier modifies the entire post-coordinated concept, not just the Source Content Item of the HAS CONCEPT MOD relationship. The entire branch of the tree from the Content Item is included in the post-coordinated structure that is negated.

Content Item Descriptions

Row 1b | Identifies the session during which the measurements were made. The NCI Thesaurus definition is "time, period, or term devoted to some activity".
Rows 2, 3 | The Tracking Identifier and Tracking Unique Identifier are defined as a text label or unique identifier (respectively) used for tracking a finding or feature, potentially across multiple reporting objects, over time. As such, they are distinct from the Observation UID (0040,A171), which is unique identifier of the specific Content Item and its subsidiary Content Items that constitute an individual observation, and would be different for different observations on different occasions of the same finding or feature. The values of these content items shall match the corresponding values of Tracking ID (0062,0020) and Tracking UID (0062,0021), if present, in the corresponding Segment of any Segmentation instance referenced in Row 7.
Row 3b | The type of the finding describes whatever entity (finding or feature) is identified by Rows 2 and 3. E.g., a finding might be a lesion, a tumor, or a reference region (as distinct from its anatomical location, which is encoded in a different content item (Finding Site).
Row 5 | To describe an infinitely small area, such as the center of a lesion, a Graphic Type of POINT may be used.
Rows 6, 7 | Referenced Frame Number (0008,1160) is an attribute of the IMAGE Content Item, and shall be present with a single value. If the Referenced Segmentation SOP Instance has Segmentation Type (0062,0001) value BINARY, it identifies the area of defined (measured) region of interest by pixel values in the referenced frame with value 1. For Segmentation Type value FRACTIONAL, the area is computed by an implementation dependent method. Frame number shall be specified even if the Segmentation SOP Instance has only a single frame.
Row 8 | Identifies the source image that was segmented to identify the ROI, and whose properties are described in this container.
Row 9 | This referenced image may contain a "screen shot" illustrating a rendered version of the ROI.
Row 10 | The reference to an RWV in Row 10 allows measurements to be made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced elsewhere in the Template. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference applies to any measurements in included Templates, unless overridden).
Row 11 | Measurements may be omitted, for example if it is desired to describe only the location of a finding or to provide categorical information about it.
Rows 12, 13 | Allows encoding a flat list of name-value pairs that are coded questions with coded or text answers, for example, to record categorical observations related to the subject of the measurement group.

### TID 1411 Volumetric ROI Measurements and Qualitative Evaluations

This Template provides a general structure to report measurements for some metric, e.g., density, flow, or concentration, and/or qualitative evaluations, over a volumetric region of interest in a set of images or a Frame of Reference. The volumetric ROI may be specified by a set of SCOORDs on an image set representing a volume, by a volumetric Segmentation Image, by a volume defined in a Surface Segmentation, or by a SCOORD3D.

Rows 5, 10 | To describe an infinitely small volume, such as the center of a lesion, a Graphic Type of POINT may be used.
Rows 6, 7 | Referenced Segment Number (0062,000B) is an attribute of the IMAGE Content Item, and shall be present with a single value. If the Referenced SOP Instance is a Segmentation Image, it shall have a defined Frame of Reference. If it has Segmentation Type (0062,0001) value BINARY, it identifies the volume of defined (measured) region of interest by voxel values in the referenced segment with value 1. If it has Segmentation Type value FRACTIONAL, the volume is defined by an implementation dependent method. If the referenced SOP Instance is a Surface Segmentation, the referenced segment shall constitute a finite volume. It identifies the volume of the defined (measured) region of interest by the interior of the finite volume. Segment number shall be specified even if the Segmentation SOP Instance has only a single segment.
Row 11 | Identifies the source images that were segmented to identify the ROI, when, for example a subset of images in a series was used.
Row 12 | Identifies the source series of images that were segmented to identify the ROI, when, for example an entire set of images in a series was used.

Content Item Descriptions

Rows 2, 9 | Finding site may be multiple when a region of interest spans multiple anatomical locations and there is not a single pre-coordinated code describing the combination of locations. E.g., when a maligant, inflammatory or traumatic process spans actual or defined anatomical boundaries. There is no requirement that the multiple locations be contiguous.
Row 5 | Specifies the metric for which measurements are reported, e.g., density, flow, or concentration. This metric is computed at each sample point (e.g., pixel or voxel) in an ROI (defined in the invoking Template), but those individual point measurements are not encoded. Instead, just the summary measurements for the ROI are encoded, and the means of computing a single value is defined in Row 8 Derivation (e.g., mean).
Rows 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 | The HAS CONCEPT MOD items allow the explicit definition of terms for post-coordination of the measurement concept name. Additional post-coordinated modifier terms may be included in a SOP Instance based on this Template, in accordance with section 6.2.4, or as defined by Templates that invoke this Template and explicitly define additional post-coordinated modifiers.
Rows 13, 14 | The INFERRED FROM items allow the specification (by-value or by-reference) of numeric values that were used in the derivation of the numeric measurement of Row 1. The nature of the inference is not explicitly conveyed; it may be implicit in the Concept Names of the measurements. Inference by-reference is valid only in SOP Classes that permit the INFERRED FROM relationship by-reference.
Row 18 | Equivalent Meaning of Concept Name allows the creating application to specify the preferred composed concept name representing the measurement and the associated post-coordinated concept modifiers. The concept modifiers may include those specified in this Template, in a Template that invokes this Template, or at the option of the creating application in accordance with section 6.2.4. This composed concept name may be rendered by a display application.
Row 19 | The reference to an RWV in Row 19 allows measurements to be made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced in the parent Template. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference overrides any reference in an including Template (such as for a Measurement Group).

Rows 2, 3 | The measurement values of each ROI that contributes to the derived measurement, e.g., the mean density within an ROI. These are specified by reference, so as to not have to repeat the ROI information when it contributes to multiple derived measurements (e.g., if both mean and SD of ROI mean density values were specified).

### TID 1500 Measurement Report

Content Item Descriptions

Rows 6, 10, 12 | The conditions require that at least one of the "heading" containers be present, though any of them may be present but empty.
Rows 7, 8, 9 | The baseline context groups defined allow for generic intensity, size and texture measurements, regardless of the geometry of the ROI (e.g., linear distance can be measured on volumes, or volume can be estimated from a linear distance), and being baseline, do not constrain the invoker from using other appropriate concepts specific to the application.
Row 9 | A Measurement Group is used to contain one or more individual measurements that are invocations of TID 300, consistent with TIDs 1410 and 1411, which both already have Measurement Group containers as their roots.
Rows 12, 13, 14 | These Content Items allow encoding a flat list of name-value pairs that are coded questions with coded or text answers, for example, to record categorical observations related to the entire subject of the report rather than specific measurement groups.

### TID 1501 Measurement and Qualitative Evaluation Group

This Template groups Measurement sand/or qualitative evaluations into a Measurement Group.

Each Measurement Group is identified by Tracking ID and UIDs, and may be described as having being made at a particular time point.

Measurement groups may contain various common measurement modifiers that are shared by all measurements in the group, such as method and finding site.

Content Item Descriptions

Row 1b | Identifies the session during which the measurements were made. The NCI Thesaurus definition is "time, period, or term devoted to some activity".
Rows 2, 3, 10 | The included TID 300 already contains an optional inclusion of TID 1408 Tracking Identifier, which in turns allows for either or both Tracking Identifier and Tracking Unique Identifier Content Items; the intent of Rows 2 and 3 is not to send these Content Items twice, but rather to specialize their use such that their presence is mandatory, consistent with TIDs 1410 and 1411.
Row 3b | The type of the finding describes whatever entity (finding or feature) is identified by Rows 2 and 3. E.g., a finding might be a lesion, a tumor, or a reference region (as distinct from its anatomical location, which is encoded in a different content item (Finding Site).
Row 6 | Finding site may be multiple when a region of interest spans multiple anatomical locations and there is not a single pre-coordinated code describing the combination of locations. E.g., when a maligant, inflammatory or traumatic process spans actual or defined anatomical boundaries. There is no requirement that the multiple locations be contiguous.
Row 9 | The reference to an RWV in Row 9 allows measurements to be made in units that differ from the stored pixel values in the images referenced elsewhere in the Template. E.g., for a PET SUVbw measurement, the mapping from activity/concentration units in the referenced image that was used (and which may be reused for measurements in the future) may be encoded in a referenced RWV instance. This reference applies to any measurements in included Templates, unless overridden).
Rows 11, 12 | Allows encoding a flat list of name-value pairs that are coded questions with coded or text answers, for example, to record categorical observations related to the subject of the measurement group.

Content Item Descriptions

Row 1 | Usually the same value as the Clinical Trial Time Point ID (0012,0050) attribute in the Clinical Trial Study Module, though not confined to clinical trial use. May or may not be human readable, and not required to be a DICOM UID.
Row 2 | All of the subjects within a treatment protocol that are examined at a particular scheduled time point (e.g., "baseline", "pre-treatment", "first post-treatment") will have the same Protocol Time Point Identifier, but different Subject Time Point Identifiers. However, in different protocols, the Protocol Time Point Identifiers for the same conceptual "time point" will be different. E.g., the "baseline" time point will have different Protocol Time Point Identifiers in different protocols. May or may not be human readable, and not required to be a DICOM UID.
Row 3 | Typically a short pre-defined label that has the same scope as Protocol Time Point Identifier (i.e., same conceptual time point within a treatment protocol) but is human-readable and understandable, e.g., "BASELINE" or "TP0", "TP1", etc. Usually the same value as Clinical Trial Time Point Description (0012,0051) attribute in the Clinical Trial Study Module, though not confined to clinical trial use. The Concept Name is selected as (C2348792, UMLS, "Time Point") (which is (C68568, NCIt, "Time Point"), defined as "a specific point in the time continuum, including those established relative to an event") in order to be compatible with external terminologies.
Row 4 | More than one type is permitted, e.g., a time point may be "posttreatment" as well as "unscheduled" or "nadir", etc.
Row 5 | The order is expected to be monotonically increasing within a particular scope of usage, but is not required to start at 0 or 1, nor required to increase in increments of 1 or even the same increment (e.g., to allow for retrospective insertion of unscheduled time points). In clinical usage, the Time Point Order would be expected to be temporally increasing, but in a clinical trial may be a randomized reading order rather than a temporal order.
Rows 6, 7 | Longitudinal temporal information may be inherited from Longitudinal Temporal Offset from Event (0012,0052) and Longitudinal Temporal Event Type (0012,0053) in the PS3.3 Section C.7.2.3 Clinical Trial Study Module, or may be specified or overridden within this template (e.g., if different measurements in the same SR Instance were measured on different time points).

### TID 2005 Transcribed Diagnostic Imaging Report

Basic report Template for general diagnostic imaging interpretation reports produced in a dictation/transcription workflow. SR documents encoded using this Template are intended to be transformable to HL7 Clinical Document Architecture format (see Section X.3 “Transcribed Diagnostic Imaging CDA Instance Content” in PS3.17 and Annexes in PS3.20).

This Template can be instantiated only at the root node, and cannot be included in other Templates.

Observation Context shall be inherited from outside the SR Content tree, and shall not be changed within the Content tree. To satisfy the requirement that Observer Context is inherited, either or both the Author Observer Sequence (0040,A078) or the Verifying Observer Sequence (0040,A073) from the SR Document Module must be present in the SOP Instance.

### Note

See Section C.17.5 “Observation Context Encoding” in PS3.3 .

### TID 2006 Imaging Report With Conditional Radiation Exposure and Protection Information

This Template is used for general imaging reports for both radiation producing and non-radiation producing modalities.

For radiation producing modalities, radiation exposure and protection information is required, such as to support nationally-specific legal or standard requirements.

It contains mandatory sections, each of which may appear only once in objects instantiated from the Template, including the medical content of the report that comprises relevant medical history data, information on the current request (i.e., clinical question that is expected to be answered by the requested procedure), impressions on the current imaging procedure that has been performed, and radiation exposure and protection information.

This Template is a specialization of TID 2000 “Basic Diagnostic Imaging Report”, in that it uses the same structure of headings and content, but mandates the presence and order of specific headings, and extends the subordinate content with specific Content Items.

Content Item Descriptions

Row 5 | The clinician responsible for determining that the irradiating procedure was appropriate for the indications.
Row 6 | A textual, human-readable description of the radiation exposure is all that is required by this Template (such as is sufficient to comply with, for example, German law). Detailed specification of exposure is out of the scope of this Template. Such information may be given in a separate SR instances such as described in TID 10001 “Projection X-Ray Radiation Dose” or TID 10011 “CT Radiation Dose”, and referenced from TID 2007 “Imaging Procedure Description”.

### TID 2010 Key Object Selection

The Key Object Selection Template is intended for flagging one or more significant images, waveforms, or other composite SOP Instances. Key Object Selection contains:

- coded document title stating the reason for significance of the referenced objects in the Key Object Selection,

- optional free form text comment in an explicitly identified language, and

- optional identification of the observer (device or person) that created the Key Object Selection.

### Note

1. For instance, when this Template is used to identify images rejected for quality reasons, the device or person performing the quality assessment is identified in observation context items (invoked through TID 1002 “Observer Context”). The reason for rejection can be included both as a code used as a concept modifier for the document title, and as text description.

2. The order of object references may be significant, e.g., when the title concept is "For Conference".

3. Instances referenced in a Key Object Selection Document may be securely referenced by Digital Signature or MAC mechanisms within the SR Document General Module (see PS3.3).

The Template can only be instantiated at the root node and cannot be included in other Templates. The Template is not extensible; that is, no other Content Items may be added to this Template, or the Templates that are included, recursively.

### TID 2020 Spectacle Prescription Report

The Spectacle Prescription Report is a structured report used to represent the prescription for a patient. Usually a prescription is for both eyes, but sometimes just one. The Spectacle Prescription Report defines a refractive correction relative to which visual acuity may be measured subjectively, and thus may be referenced by a Visual Acuity Measurements Storage SOP Instance.

### TID 2100 Macular Grid Thickness and Volume Report

The Macular Grid Thickness and Volume Report is a structured report encoding the macular grid thickness and volume values derived from ophthalmic images, such as ophthalmic OPT images. This may encode measurements of either or both eyes.

The macular grid conveyed by this report is based upon the grid employed by the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) to measure area and proximity of macular edema to the anatomic center (fovea) of the macula. See ETDRS Report Number 10.
