Supplement 236: Waveform Presentation State

This supplement introduces service classes for the storage and exchange of presentation information for DICOM waveform objects. It does this by adding a Waveform Presentation State information object definition (IOD).

The Waveform Presentation State object stores annotations, filters, and montages used for a given recording (patient related). A Waveform Presentation State object is stored together with the waveform study (such as a routine scalp electroencephalogram [EEG] recording) and can be exchanged between systems.

This supplement adds the new Waveform Presentation State information entity (IE), and new service-object pair (SOP) classes to store Waveform Presentation States and the related Modules.
