How to Specify the Cine Display Rate

There are multiple ways of specifying Cine Rate (Multi-Frame Display Speed) in DICOM, in two categories:

ImplementationUID and ImplementationName

The Implementation Identification information allows implementations of communicating AEs to identify each other at Association establishment time. It is intended to provide non-ambiguous version identification in the event of communication problems encountered between two nodes.

Measurement Units

The ROIDistanceUnits COM/.NET method of a DicomLabel COM/.NET varies according to the attribute used to obtain the scaling information, for which there are 5 possibilities

Patient Orientation

Photometric Interpretations


DICOM allows various relationships between the pixel data and how the image should be displayed. The values here are found in element 0028,0004 and every image should have that value.

Hierarchical SOP Instance

While DicomObjects can not create a Dicom Hierarchical SOP Instance dataset collection directly, however it can do much of the work for you. A Hierarchical SOP Instance Dataset collection are similar in structure to a DicomDir which DicomObjects can create automatically.
