Wide Field Ophthalmic Photography Image Storage SOP Classes

Ophthalmic photographic imaging devices have been generating DICOM OP images (using a narrow field) for many years.

New technology enables devices to generate OP images using a wide field. But since the back of the eye is approximately a concave sphere, it introduces large errors when making anatomic measurements (such as a lesion in the eye).

This supplement specifies two new SOP Classes that solve this problem as they enable anatomically correct measurements on wide field ophthalmic photography images.
