May be present otherwise. ### Note Total Pixel Matrix Focal Planes (0048,0303) describes the number of focal planes separately encoded, and is distinct from Number of Focal Planes (0048,0013), which describes in what manner different focal planes were combined into a single encoded plane (focus stacking).

Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence. See Section C.8.12.4.1.4 and Section C.8.12.2.1.1 for further explanation. Required if Dimension Organization Type (0020,9311) is present with a value of TILED_FULL. May be present otherwise.
>X Offset in Slide Coordinate System | (0040,072A) | 1 | The X offset in millimeters from the Origin of the Slide Coordinate System.

Image Orientation (Slide) | (0048,0102) | 1C | The direction cosines of the first row and the first column of the total pixel matrix with respect to the Slide Coordinate System Frame of Reference. See Section C.8.12.4.1.4. Required if Plane Position (Slide) Sequence (0048,021A) is present within a Functional Group Sequence or Dimension Organization Type (0020,9311) is present with a value of TILED_FULL. May be present otherwise.
Pixel Presentation | (0008,9205) | 3 | Indication of the presence or absence of color information that may be used during rendering. Enumerated Values: COLOR_RANGE A Palette Color LUT is supplied or referenced. Image is best displayed using that Palette Color LUT, but can be displayed in grayscale if current display does not support color. MONOCHROME No Palette Color LUT is supplied or referenced. Image is intended to be displayed in grayscale only.
Samples per Pixel | (0028,0002) | 1 | Number of samples (planes) in this image. Enumerated Values: 1
Photometric Interpretation | (0028,0004) | 1 | Specifies the intended interpretation of the pixel data. Enumerated Values: MONOCHROME2
Bits Allocated | (0028,0100) | 1 | Number of bits allocated for each pixel sample. Enumerated Values if Pixel Data (7FE0,0010) or Pixel Data Provider URL (0028,7FE0) is present: 16 Enumerated Values if Float Pixel Data (7FE0,0008) is present: 32 Enumerated Values if Double Float Pixel Data (7FE0,0009) is present: 64
Bits Stored | (0028,0101) | 1C | Number of bits stored for each pixel sample. Enumerated Values: 16 Required if Pixel Data (7FE0,0010) or Pixel Data Provider URL (0028,7FE0) is present.

Presentation LUT Shape | (2050,0020) | 1 | Specifies an identity transformation for the Presentation LUT such that the output of all grayscale transformations are defined to be in P-Values. Enumerated Values: IDENTITY output is in P-Values. ### Note The intent of specifying this Attribute for Parametric Maps is only to achieve consistency of rendering when displayed as grayscale, not to imply that grayscale contrast of the displayed image is meaningful. It is not applicable when the image is rendered with pseudo-color, for example.
Lossy Image Compression | (0028,2110) | 1 | Specifies whether an Image has undergone lossy compression (at a point in its lifetime), or is derived from lossy compressed images. Enumerated Values: 00 Image has NOT been subjected to lossy compression. 01 Image has been subjected to lossy compression. Once this value has been set to 01 it shall not be reset. See Section C.8.32.2.1 and Section C.7.6.1.1.5.
Lossy Image Compression Ratio | (0028,2112) | 1C | Describes the approximate lossy compression ratio(s) that have been applied to this image. See Section C.7.6.1.1.5.2. Required if present in the source images or this SOP Instance has been compressed.
Lossy Image Compression Method | (0028,2114) | 1C | A label for the lossy compression method(s) that have been applied to this image. See Section C.7.6.1.1.5.1. Required if present in the source images or this SOP Instance has been compressed. See Section C.8.32.2.1.
Burned In Annotation | (0028,0301) | 1 | Indicates whether or not image contains sufficient burned in annotation to identify the patient and date the image was acquired. Enumerated Values: NO
Recognizable Visual Features | (0028,0302) | 1 | Indicates whether or not the image contains sufficiently recognizable visual features to allow the image or a reconstruction from a set of images to identify the patient. Enumerated Values: YES NO

Palette Color Lookup Table UID | (0028,1199) | 1C | Palette Color Lookup Table UID. See Section C.7.9.1 for further explanation. Required if Pixel Presentation (0008,9205) equals COLOR_RANGE and the Palette Color Lookup Table Module is not present.
ICC Profile | (0028,2000) | 1C | An ICC Profile encoding the transformation of device-dependent color stored pixel values into PCS-Values. When present, defines the color space of the output of the Parametric Map See Section C.11.15.1.1. Required if Pixel Presentation (0008,9205) has a value of COLOR_RANGE.
Color Space | (0028,2002) | 3 | A label that identifies the well-known color space of the image. Shall be consistent with any ICC Profile (0028,2000) that is also present. See Section C.11.15.1.2.

##### C.8.32.2.1 Lossy Image Compression and Lossy Image Compression Method

If Lossy Image Compression (0028,2110) in any of the source images is "01", the value shall be "01" for the Parametric Map Instance.

The process of derivation of a Parametric Map itself is defined not to be lossy compression, even though it involves loss. If the Parametric Map Instance is encoded using a lossy compression Transfer Syntax, then the value shall be set to "01".

### Note

To state the obvious, it is not advisable to lossy compress a Parametric Map SOP Instance, since that will alter the quantitative values that are the intent of the object.
