DEFINITION:<br/>A set of parameter values necessary to obtain or reconstruct a set of images for an imaging process protocol.<br/><br/>EXAMPLE(S):<br/>A chest Protocol might include three elements:  two localizer CT radiographs (AP and Lateral) and a single helical scan, each of which would be described in separate steps with different parameter values.<br/><br/>A CT Protocol frequently specifies multiple reconstructions. For example, a single helical Acquisition Element may be reconstructed once as thin slices and a second time as thick slices.<br/><br/>OTHER NAME(S):<br/><br/>NOTE(S):<br/>This class combines the common concept for the process protocol element from the DICOM CT Defined Acquisition Technique Module, the DICOM CT Defined Reconstruction Technique Module, DICOM CT Performed Acquisition Technique Module and the DICOM CT Performed Reconstruction Technique Module.<br/>

Notes: DEFINITION:<br/>A brief statement about the characteristics of this element, which is intended for use by the radiologist, technologist and/or physicist during management of the imaging protocol to understand the characteristics of the element in the protocol.<br/><br/>EXAMPLE(S):<br/>"dose-optimized pelvis" (acquisition protocol element)<br/>"thin slides for cardiac 3D" (reconstruction protocol element)<br/><br/>OTHER NAME(S):<br/>From DICOM:  Protocol Element Characteristics Summary (0018,9923)<br/><br/>NOTE(S):<br/>

Notes: DEFINITION:<br/>A coded value specifying the anatomic location that is the focus of this imaging process protocol element.<br/><br/>EXAMPLE(S):<br/>Kidney <br/><br/>OTHER NAME(S):<br/><br/>NOTE(S):<br/>Multiple contiguous sites within the same organ system may be referenced.<br/><br/>Sources that capture anatomic site and laterality separately should map both to this attribute. For implementation models based on BRIDG where site and laterality are captured separately, you may wish to capture both concepts as a post-coordinated code structure or as multiple code repetitions.<br/>
