A PATIENT POSITION “specifies the position of the patient relative to the imaging equipment space. This attribute is intended for annotation purposes only. It does not provide an exact mathematical relationship of the patient to the imaging equipment. When facing the front of the imaging equipment, Head First is defined as the patient’s head being positioned toward the front of the imaging equipment. Feet First is defined as the patient’s feet being positioned toward the front of the imaging equipment. Prone is defined as the patient’s face being positioned in a downward (gravity) direction. Supine is defined as the patient’s face being in an upward direction. Decubitus Right is defined as the patient’s right side being in a downward direction. Decubitus Left is defined as the patient’s left side being in a downward direction” [DICOM Standard, Part 3].
