DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Feature Representation (Format Attributes)

DICOM features specify a matrix of x, y, and z coordinates. Since each file may have multiple frames (grids of pixels in the x-y plane), there may be multiple raster features returned.

This will always be dicom_raster_slice.

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).

Attribute Description
dicom_multiframe_index Index of raster within a single DICOM file, starting at 0.
