Assignment of the source series UIDs to the segmentation frames #45

Closed fedorov closed 8 months ago

fedorov commented 8 years ago

Currently, communication of the source series DICOM files serves multiple purposes:

It will be more flexible (but also more complicated) if these different purposes are separated.

A related use case is segmentation of the time series data, where multiple source series slices will map to the same segmentation series frame.

Given the related discussion in https://github.com/QIICR/dcmqi/issues/489, this is not possible. It is not allowed by the standard to add items to ReferencedInstanceSequence if those are not actually referenced in the instance. This issue is superseded by #489.
