#### C.7.2.2 Patient Study Module

Table C.7-4a defines Attributes that provide information about the Patient at the time the Study started.

### Note

In the case of imaging a group of small animals simultaneously, the Attributes in this Module can only have values that apply to the entire group, otherwise they are absent (e.g., Patient's Weight (0010,1030)) or empty (e.g., Patient's Sex Neutered (0010,2203).
