I have problems understanding the description. Could you please split this up into sentences with each sentence conveying a meaning?

Let me clarify what I find confusing:

Value used to calibrate radioactivity count

--> is "radioactivity count" metadata that corresponds to some already existing field? If yes, can you reference that one, please?

  • value already applied to the data as a multiplication factor that scales them from counts/sec to Bq/ml (dicom tag 0054,1322).

does that connect to the previous sentence? Or is it a standalone statement? Or an example / clarification?

Thanks for pointing this out @sappelhoff. I have now updated the description, so it is very much in line with the dicom description, and then referring to the dicom tag. Then it is possible to make a dicom lookup, if one wants to search for more information. This also removes the latin abbreviations, and then I have aligned the table pipes.
