##### C.29.1.2.1 Generic Implant Template 2D Drawings Attribute Descriptions

###### C.29.1.2.1.1 HPGL Document Scaling and Coordinate System

HPGL Documents use integer coordinates based on a 25µm grid in the printing space - i.e., the paper to print on - rather than the object space. HPGL Document Scaling (0068,62F2) is used to scale the printed dimensions measured in millimeters to match the real dimensions of the implant measured in millimeters.

### Note

1. For example, if HPGL Document Scaling is 2.5, then a line in HPGL that goes from (0,0) to (0,500) that is 12.5 mm long when printed represents 31.25 mm in the real world.

2. In HPGL, the origin of the printing space is placed in the lower left corner with the x-axis pointing to the right. No negative coordinates are allowed.

This Attribute does not compensate for any radiographic geometric magnification effect caused by the diverging X-Ray beam in the projection patient images used for planning. Such compensation is the responsibility of the application based on calibration of the imaging process.

###### C.29.1.2.1.2 HPGL Document

The HPGL files encapsulated in the Attribute HPGL Document (0068,6300) is restricted to a subset of HPGL commands called DICOM-HPGL specified in this section.

###### C.29.1.2.1.2.1 Scope

The aim of DICOM-HPGL is to facilitate the storage of 2D template graphics in DICOM implant objects. DICOM-HPGL is a subset of HPGL-2 that is kept as minimal as possible to comply with the needs of 2D implant templates.

###### C.29.1.2.1.2.2 Syntax

DICOM-HPGL documents consist of valid HPGL commands terminated by a semicolon. Commands consist of a two-letter mnemonic and zero or more numeric parameters separated by commas. To separate between commands, line breaks (x0D, x0A or x0Dx0A) or whitespaces (x20) may be used but are not mandatory.

Only the following commands shall be used in a DICOM-HPGL document

Table C.29.1.2-2. Permitted HPGL Commands

Command | Parameter | Meaning
--- | --- | ---
IN | - | Initialize.
PA | [X,Y] | Plot Absolute. The optional parameter assigns an initial position for the pen.
PC | Pen Number, Red, Green, Blue | Set Color of Pen with the given Pen Number. Colors are in RGB, intensities are encoded 0…255. The colors for pen number 0 shall be white and the color for pen number 1 shall be black. It is recommended to use only the pen numbers up to 255 to ensure compatibility with older HPGL viewers.
SP | Pen Number | Select Pen It is recommended to use only the pen numbers up to 255 to ensure compatibility with older HPGL viewers. Only pen numbers shall be used to which a color has been specified in a precedent PC command.
PU | [X,Y,…[,X,Y]] | Pen Up. The optional sequence of paired parameters describe subsequent pen motions after lifting the pen.
PD | [X,Y,…[,X,Y]] | Pen Down. The optional sequence of paired parameters describe subsequent pen motions after lowering the pen.

According to the parameter definition in HPGL, [] indicate optional parameters. The expression [X,Y,…[,X,Y]] indicates a sequence of arbitrary length of paired parameters X and Y. The commands and their parameters shall be interpreted as specified in the HP PCL/PJL Reference.

##### C.29.1.3.1 Generic Implant Template 3D Models Attribute Descriptions

###### C.29.1.3.1.1 Surface Model Scaling Factor

Surface Model Scaling Factor (0068,6390) is used to scale dimensions of the surface mesh representation to match the real dimensions of the implant measured in millimeters.

This Attribute does not compensate for any radiographic geometric magnification effect caused by the diverging X-Ray beam in the projection patient images used for planning. Such compensation is the responsibility of the application based on calibration of the imaging process.

#### C.29.1.4 Generic Implant Template Mating Features Module

Table C.29.1.4-1 defines the general Attributes of the Generic Implant Template Mating Features Module. This Module adds coordinate systems that can be utilized to geometrically constrain mating of Implant Templates when planning the implantation of a modular implant.

### Note

An Implant Template may contain 2D drawings of the described implant, 3D surface models of the described implant, or both. In this Module mating features that constrain the geometric matching of implants in multi-component assemblies are specified. These geometric features (points and axes) can be specified in the 2D drawings as well as the 3D models. Mating features are grouped into mating feature sets (see PS3.17). Based on the existence of 2D drawings and/or 3D models in the Instance, either or both is possible. In this Module, there are a number of conditions on Attribute use to support the following cases:

- Specification of 2D mating features is only possible if at least one 2D drawing is present in the Instance.

- Specification of 3D mating features is only possible if at least one 3D model is present in the Instance.

##### C.29.1.4.1 Generic Implant Template 2D Drawings Attribute Descriptions

###### C.29.1.4.1.1 Mating Features

These Attributes establish a Cartesian coordinate system relative to the Frame of Reference of the implant. When two implants are assembled using a pair of mating features, a rigid spatial registration can be established, that transforms one Frame of Reference so that the mating features align.

###### C.29.1.4.1.2 Degrees of Freedom

Mating Feature Degree of Freedom Sequence (0068,6400) is used to specify that a mating feature allows mating with another implant not only in one defined pose, but within a certain range of freedom. One Sequence Item specifies one degree of freedom that may be a rotation around or a translation along an arbitrary axis. The Degree of Freedom Type (0068,6420) specifies whether the degree of freedom describes a rotation or a translation.

The 3D coordinates of the axis of translation or rotation is specified by 3D Degree Of Freedom Axis (0068,6490) with respect to the Implant Template's Frame of Reference as three-dimensional vector in x-y-z order. Range Of Freedom (0068,64A0) specifies an interval, in millimeters or degrees, by which this 3D coordinate system mating feature may be moved along or around the axis.

For each HPGL Document, the 2D Degree Of Freedom Axis (0068,64F0) may be specified as a 3D vector encoded in x-y-z order, where the z-coordinate is equal to the direction of projection, i.e., equal to the cross product of the x- and y-axis of the printing space. Range Of Freedom (0068,64A0) specifies an interval, in millimeters or degrees, by which the 3D coordinate system of this mating feature may be moved along or around the axis.

#### C.29.1.5 Generic Implant Template Planning Landmarks Module

Table C.29.1.5-1 defines the general Attributes of the Generic Implant Template Planning Landmarks Module. This Module adds planning landmarks, i.e., geometric annotations that constrain implant template registration to anatomical features, to the Implant Template IOD.

### Note

An Implant Template may contain 2D drawings from several viewpoints, 3D surface models, or both. The planning landmarks that are specified with this Module may occur in all of these, but may also only occur in some of these (due to their invisibility or irrelevance in some drawings or the 3D representation). Each 2D drawing specifies its own 2D drawing space, which requires a separate geometric description for each drawing. The 3D models share one Frame of Reference. Thus, each landmark needs only one 3D representation that then applies to all 3D models contained in one Instance. The Attribute Descriptions of the Attributes that geometrically define landmarks (in Table C.29.1.5-2 and Table C.29.1.5-3 and Table C.29.1.5-4) contain complicated Conditions that express the following constraints:

- If 2D drawings are present in an Implant Template Instance, there may be 2D specifications of landmarks present in this Implant Template Instance.

- 2D specifications of landmarks will refer to HPGL Document Numbers (0068,62D0) that are present in an Implant Template Instance.

- Landmarks are not required to be geometrically defined in all existing HPGL documents.

- If 3D models are present in a Implant Template Instance, there may be 3D specifications of landmarks present in this Implant Template Instance

- 2D and 3D specifications may be present for one landmark in an Instance if both, 2D drawings and 3D models are contained in the Instance.
