## 10.16 Algorithm Identification Macro

Table 10-19 describes the Attributes for encoding the algorithm used to create or derive a SOP Instance contents. An algorithm is described by the Algorithm Family, a specific Algorithm Name, and an Algorithm Version. A character string containing parameters that were used in the algorithm can be included.

Table 10-19. Algorithm Identification Macro Attributes

Attribute Name | Tag | Type | Attribute Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Algorithm Family Code Sequence | (0066,002F) | 1 | The family of algorithm(s) that best describes the software algorithm used. Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence.
>Include Table 8.8-1 “Code Sequence Macro Attributes” | CID may be defined in the Macro invocation.
Algorithm Name Code Sequence | (0066,0030) | 3 | The code assigned by a manufacturer to a specific software algorithm. Only a single Item is permitted in this Sequence.
>Include Table 8.8-1 “Code Sequence Macro Attributes” | No Baseline CID is defined.
Algorithm Name | (0066,0036) | 1 | The name assigned by a manufacturer to a specific software algorithm.
Algorithm Version | (0066,0031) | 1 | The software version identifier assigned by a manufacturer to a specific software algorithm.
Algorithm Parameters | (0066,0032) | 3 | The input parameters used by a manufacturer to configure the behavior of a specific software algorithm.
Algorithm Source | (0024,0202) | 3 | Source of the algorithm, e.g., the name of the manufacturer, researcher, university, etc.
