2.2.1.3.1.3.1.6 Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State Storage SOP Class
(1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.11.1)
The Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State Storage SOP Class extends the functionality of the Storage
Service class to add the ability to convey an intended presentation state or record an existing presentation
state.
It includes capabilities for specifying:
· the output grayscale space in P-Values
· grayscale contrast transformations including modality and VOI LUT
· selection of the area of the image to display
· image and display relative annotations, including graphics, text and overlays
Note:
A GSPS always refers to exactly one (1) image. Since re-sending an image is prohibited in
"Workstation", an archived image can also have maximally one (1) GSPS that refers to it.
Depending on the configured SOP class to be used (CR (§ 2.2.1.3.1.3.1 ), DX for presentation (§ 2.2.1..3.2 ) or
MG for presentation (§ 2.2.1.3.1.3.4) annotations and shutters are stored in the GSPS or burned in the
image as described in the following table:
