Designation:E147513(Reapproved 2018)Standard Guide forData Fields for Computerized Transfer of DigitalRadiological Examination Data1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1475;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide provides a listing and description of the fieldsthat are recommended for inclusion in a digital radiologicalexamination data base to facilitate the transfer of such data.This guide sets guidelines for the format of data fields forcomputerized transfer of digital image files obtained fromradiographic,radioscopic,computed radiographic,or otherradiological examination systems.The field listing includesthose fields regarded as necessary for inclusion in the database:(1)regardless of the radiological examination method(asindicated by Footnote C in Table 1),(2)for radioscopicexamination(as indicated by Footnote F in Table 1),and(3)forradiographic examination(as indicated by Footnote D in Table1).In addition,other optional fields are listed as a reminder ofthe types of information that may be useful for additionalunderstanding of the data or applicable to a limited number ofapplications.1.2 It is recognized that organizations may have in place aninternal format for the storage and retrieval of radiologicalexamination data.This guide should not impede the use of suchformats since it is probable that the necessary fields are alreadyincluded in such internal data bases,or that the few additionscan easily be made.The numerical listing and its orderindicated in this guide is only for convenience;the specificnumbers and their order carry no inherent significance and arenot part of the data file.1.3 Current users of Guide E1475 do not have to changetheir software.First time users should use the XMLstructure ofTable A1.1 for their data.1.4 The types of radiological examination systems thatappear useful in relation to this guide include radioscopicsystems as described in Guide E1000,Practices E1255,E1411,E2597,E2698 and E2737,and radiographic systems as de-scribed in Guide E94 and Practices E748,E1742,E2033,E2445,and E2446.Many of the terms used are defined inTerminology E1316.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E94 Guide for Radiographic Examination Using IndustrialRadiographic FilmE748 Guide for Thermal Neutron Radiography of MaterialsE1000 Guide for RadioscopyE1255 Practice for RadioscopyE1316 Terminology for Nondestructive ExaminationsE1411 Practice for Qualification of Radioscopic SystemsE1742 Practice for Radiographic ExaminationE2033 Practice for Radiographic Examination Using Com-puted Radiography(Photostimulable LuminescenceMethod)E2445 Practice for Performance Evaluation and Long-TermStability of Computed Radiography SystemsE2446 Practice for Manufacturing Characterization of Com-puted Radiography SystemsE2597 Practice for Manufacturing Characterization of Digi-tal Detector Arrays1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E07 on Nondestruc-tive Testing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E07.11 on DigitalImaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation(DICONDE).Current edition approved June 1,2018.Published July 2018.Originally approvedin 1992.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as E1475 02(2013).DOI:10.1520/E1475-13R18.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 TABLE 1 Field ListingField NumberAField Name and DescriptionCategory Sets,Values and Unit
