Neurophysiology Waveforms

This Supplement introduces a number of Services Classes for Storage of Neurophysiology Waveforms by adding the related Neurophysiology IODs and the necessary Neurophysiology Waveform Context Groups.

It adds a SOP Class to store routine (clinic) electroencephalography (EEG) data recording the electrical activity of the brain collected on the skull surface using electrode positions of the international 10/10 or 10/20 localization scheme.

It adds a SOP Class to store electromyography (EMG) data recording the electrical activity of skeletal muscles.

It adds a SOP Class to store electrooculography (EOG) data collected near the eyes recording eye movement.

It adds a SOP Class to store generic neurophysiology signals.

It adds a transfer syntax for DICOM waveforms using RED compression.

Supplement 217 will be further presented and discussed with the Base Working Group in a coming meeting before Public Comment voting.
