The Palette Color Lookup Table used is the Spring Color Palette (see Figure BBBB.1-3 Resulting Color LUT Spring).

This can be described as follows through the Palette Color Lookup Table:

Red has a constant value of 255

Green has a linear segment that starts at 0 and ends at 255

Blue has a linear segment that starts at 255 and ends at 0

Using the Segmented Color Lookup Table all three can be described by a discrete segment with length 1 to specify the starting value (0,1,value) followed by a linear segment of length 255 with the end-value (1,255,end-value).

Figure BBBB.1-3. Resulting Color LUT Spring

The values specifying the range to be mapped to the Color LUT are given by the Minimum Stored Value Mapped and the Maximum Stored Value mapped.

Table BBBB.2-9. Example data for the Stored Value Color Range Macro

Attribute | Tag | Value | Comment
--- | --- | --- | ---
Minimum Stored Value Mapped | (0028,1231) | -16.739 | Corresponds to the first LUT entry (255,0,255).
Maximum Stored Value Mapped | (0028,1232) | 21.434 | Corresponds to the last LUT entry (255,255,0).
