Manifest Modules Mandatory Attributes

Attribute Name Type Attribute Description
Key object document series module (adopted from DICOM PS 3.3-2004 Table C.17.6-1 [pg 778])
Modality 1 Modality type
KO ≡ Key object selection
Series Instance UID 1 Unique identifier of the series
Series number 1 A number that identifies the series
Referenced performed procedure step sequence 2 Uniquely identifies the performed procedure step SOP instance for which the series is created
Notes: This is not the reference list of key objects. It may be sent as null in the manifest
Key object document module (adopted from DICOM PS 3.3-2004 Table C.17.6-2 [pg 778–779])
Instance number 1 A number that identifies the document
Content date 1 The date the document content creation started
Content time 1 The time the document content creation started
Current requested procedure evidence sequence 1 List of all composite SOP instances referenced in the content sequence
Note: Only the set of instances referenced within the key object selection
>SOP instance reference macro (adopted from DICOM PS 3.3-2004 Table C.17-3 [pg 763])
 >Study instance UID 1 Unique identifier for the study
 >Referenced series sequence 1 Sequence of repeating items where each item includes the attributes of a series containing referenced composite object(s)
 >>Series instance UID 1 Unique identifier of a series that is part of this study and contains the referenced composite object(s)
 >>Referenced SOP sequence 1 References to composite object SOP class/SOP instance pairs that are part of the study defined by study instance UID and the series defined by series instance UID
 >>>Referenced SOP class UID 1 Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP class
 >>>Referenced SOP instance UID 1 Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP instance
SR document content module (adopted from DICOM PS 3.3-2004 Table C.17-4 [pg 764])
Content sequence 1 A nested sequence of items that conveys content
Note: Source of content information is defined in the TCE profile documentation and outlined in Table 4
 >Date 1 The date of the content item
 >Time 1 The time of the content item
 >Relationship type 1 The type of relationship between the (enclosing) source content item and the target content item
 >Value type 1 The type of the value encoded in this content item
 >Concept name code sequence 1C Code describing the concept represented by this content item
In the manifest: required if value type is container, code, PNAME, or text
>>Include ‘code sequence macro’ (Table 5)
 >Continuity of content 1C This flag specifies for a container whether the contained content items are logically linked in a continuous textual flow or are separate items
    Enumerated values: separate; continuous
 >Concept code sequence 1C This is the value of the code content item
>>Include ‘code sequence macro’ (Table 5)
 >Person name 1C This is the value of the PNAME content item
 >Text value 1C This is the value of the text content item
 >Referenced SOP sequence 1C References to image or composite object SOP class/SOP instance pairs
 >>Referenced SOP class UID 1 Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP class
 >>Referenced SOP instance UID 1 Uniquely identifies the referenced SOP instance

1 ≡ Mandatory; 1C ≡ Conditional mandatory; 2 ≡ Mandatory, but may contain a null value
