Add pixel data format to image scheama #108

Open rkm opened 3 years ago

rkm commented 3 years ago

We should consider adding tags which describe pixel data formats and compression to the image-level schema. This primarily refers to TransferSyntaxUID (and its human-readable description), which determines how the pixel data is encoded. Parsing this in fo-dicom can also be used to quickly determine if an image has been lossy compressed.

We already have LossyImageCompression, however this only takes boolean values of 0/1 instead of describing the compression format.

Good point, it would also be interesting to know just how the formats break down in the current dataset between each option. (Do we have lots of TIFFs for example?) We get MPEGs from the Cardiology PACS, it would be interesting to see if any of those have made it over to the National PACS yet...

A general analysis of the TransferSyntaxUID in MongoDB should be doable from @2bpro 's scripts.
