In the DICOM header, if I have for example the following value:

Frames = 2

What does that mean?

Thanks.

Dear Abder,

Some modalities creates DICOM images with single frame, like CR - Xray
images.
And some other modalities like XA - Angiogram, creates the same with
an array of frames.
If a DICOM image contains more than one frames (or multiple frames),
then in the header data, value of the tag (0x0028, 0x0008) contains
total number of frames.

Dear Abder,

In simple words it means you have to show the frames one by one as
video.
The time interval of each frame to be displayed can be determined
from tag 0x00181063.

Thanks and Regards
Amey

<nitpick> ... as long as the frames are temporally correlated. If not,
(0018,1063) may be missing - then you may have a spatial correlation,
such as in slice stacks.

Kind regards,
