Field	Card.	Type	Description
uid	1..1		The DICOM Series Instance UID for the series.
number	0..1	Integer	The numeric identifier of this series in the study.
modality	1..1	Code	The modality of this series sequence. Binding: Type of acquired data in the instance. (extensible)
description	0..1	String	A description of the series.
numberOfInstances	0..1	Integer	Number of SOP Instances in the Study. The value given may be larger than the number of instance elements this resource contains due to resource availability, security, or other factors. This element should be present if any instance elements are present.
endpoint	0..*	List<Endpoint>	The network service providing access (e.g., query, view, or retrieval) for this series. See implementation notes for information about using DICOM endpoints. A series-level endpoint, if present, has precedence over a study-level endpoint with the same Endpoint.connectionType.
bodySite	0..1	Code	The anatomic structures examined. See DICOM Part 16 Annex L (http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part16/chapter_L.html) for DICOM to SNOMED-CT mappings. The bodySite may indicate the laterality of body part imaged; if so, it shall be consistent with any content of ImagingStudy.series.laterality. Binding: Codes describing anatomical locations. May include laterality. (example)
laterality	0..1	Code	The laterality of the (possibly paired) anatomic structures examined. E.g., the left knee, both lungs, or unpaired abdomen. If present, shall be consistent with any laterality information indicated in ImagingStudy.series.bodySite. Binding: Codes describing body site laterality (left, right, etc.). (example)
specimen	0..*	List<QICoreSpecimen>	The specimen imaged, e.g., for whole slide imaging of a biopsy.
started	0..1	DateTime	The date and time the series was started.
performer	0..*	List<series.performer>	Indicates who or what performed the series and how they were involved.
instance	0..*	List<series.instance>	A single SOP instance within the series, e.g. an image, or presentation state.
