This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

Radiological Examination Data
This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1475; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This guide provides a listing and description of the fields that are recommended for inclusion in a digital radiological
examination data base to facilitate the transfer of such data. This guide sets guidelines for the format of data fields for computerized
transfer of digital image files obtained from radiographic, radioscopic, computed radiographic, or other radiological examination
systems. The field listing includes those fields regarded as necessary for inclusion in the data base: (1) regardless of the radiological
examination method (as indicated by Footnote C in Table 1), (2) for radioscopic examination (as indicated by Footnote EF in Table
1), and (3) for radiographic examination (as indicated by Footnote D in Table 1). In addition, other optional fields are listed as a
reminder of the types of information that may be useful for additional understanding of the data or applicable to a limited number
of applications.
1.2 It is recognized that organizations may have in place an internal format for the storage and retrieval of radiological
examination data. This guide should not impede the use of such formats since it is probable that the necessary fields are already
included in such internal data bases, or that the few additions can easily be made. The numerical listing and its order indicated in
this guide is only for convenience; the specific numbers and their order carry no inherent significance and are not part of the data
file.
1.3 Current users of Guide E1475 do not have to change their software. First time users should use the XML structure of Table
A1.1 for their data.
1.4 The types of radiological examination systems that appear useful in relation to this guide include radioscopic systems as
described in Guide E1000, Practices E1255, E1411, E2597, E2698 and E2033E2737, and radiographic systems as described in
Guide E94 and Practices E748, E1742and, E1742E2033, E2445, and E2446. Many of the terms used are defined in Terminology
E1316.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
