Enum: DICOMValidationIssueTypeEnum

Categories of problems detected when validating DICOM files and collections for completeness, conformance, metadata consistency, pixel data integrity and plausibility. Used to classify findings from tools such as dciodvfy, dcentvfy, DVTk and pydicom during data reliability workflows.

Permissible Values

Value	Title	Description	Category
TRUNCATED_FILE	Truncated file	The file is incomplete, for example a truncated transfer syntax or missing pixel data at the end of the file	structural
INVALID_VR_ENCODING	Invalid VR encoding	An attribute is encoded with a Value Representation that does not match the data dictionary or the transfer syntax	structural
MISSING_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE	Missing required attribute	A Type 1 or Type 2 attribute required by the IOD, such as StudyInstanceUID or PixelData, is absent	conformance
VALUE_MULTIPLICITY_VIOLATION	Value multiplicity violation	An attribute has more or fewer values than permitted by its Value Multiplicity	conformance
VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE	Value out of range	An attribute value is outside the enumerated or defined range allowed by the standard	conformance
INVALID_UID_SYNTAX	Invalid UID syntax	A UID does not conform to DICOM UID syntax, for example non-numeric components or excess length	conformance
DUPLICATE_UID	Duplicate UID	The same SOP Instance UID or other UID is reused across instances that should be distinct	consistency
INCONSISTENT_ENTITY_ATTRIBUTES	Inconsistent entity attributes	Attributes that should be identical across instances of the same entity differ, such as instances in one series carrying different Series Instance UIDs	consistency
DATE_INCONSISTENCY	Date inconsistency	Dates are mutually inconsistent, such as a study date after the patient's death date or a series date before the study date	plausibility
IMPLAUSIBLE_VALUE	Implausible value	A syntactically valid value that is biologically implausible, such as a patient age of 150 years	plausibility
NONSTANDARD_PRIVATE_ATTRIBUTE	Nonstandard private attribute	A private tag is present that is not documented in the site's private tag dictionary	documentation
IDENTIFIER_LINKAGE_ERROR	Identifier linkage error	Patient or study identifiers do not link correctly to clinical records, or demographics disagree across linked records	consistency
UNREADABLE_PIXEL_DATA	Unreadable pixel data	The pixel data cannot be decoded, typically due to acquisition or packaging problems	pixel data
DECOMPRESSION_MISMATCH	Decompression mismatch	Decompressed pixel data has an unexpected bit depth or differs from the uncompressed original beyond the expected loss	pixel data
CHECKSUM_MISMATCH	Checksum mismatch	The file's cryptographic hash no longer matches the value recorded at ingest, indicating corruption or alteration	integrity
PROTECTED_HEALTH_INFORMATION_PRESENT	Protected health information present	Identifying information remains in the header, private tags or pixel data after de-identification	privacy
