German term

SR (abbreviation)

German to English Medical Medical (general)
From a set of documents on the discharge of patient with spinal injuries after an accident.

This page is entitled: Webzugriff auf medizinische Biiddaten mostly describing internet access and personal data details.

I think CR stands for Computed Radiography, but I do not know what SR stands for.

I have found a site with clarifications of abbreviations in this area, but the SR one does not seem to fit:

Hier ist eine vollständige und aktuelle Liste aller definierten Bezeichnungen für die Modalität (Modality: 0008,0060):

CR Computed Radiography
SR Structured Report Document

I have also seen entries in PROZ for the medical context, but they do not seem to fit - it does not mean sinus rhythm, for example.

What could SR refer to?

standard radiograph(y) ...perhaps... as opposed to other imaging techniques like CT or MRI. German: Konventionelles Röntgen(bild)

Comparison between standard radiography and spiral CT with 3D reconstruction in the evaluation, classification and management of tibial plateau fractures

Standard radiography (SR) is the most commonly used technique for the diagnosis of SF, but has a low sensitivity and a high percentage of false-positive ...

Keeping abbreviation Hmm, I think I will keep the abbreviations after all, as the meanings are in English and to be honest I am finding the helpful hint from Alison a bit hard to understand for my little brain

Structured Report I think the definition you have found is the correct one.

See this:
The definition for the attribute Modality is “Type of equipment that originally acquired the data used to create the images in this Series.” So typical enumerated values are CT, MR, OP, OCT, etc. However, for certain types of IODs the enumerated values were NOT set to values based on the type of equipment but the type of IOD, such as SR, PR, RTDOSE, SEG, KO and more.
For example, when a CT modality system creates a SR SOP Instance, the value for Modality is SR, not CT. That does not follow the strict definition of Modality but it is very useful as it makes it straight forward systems to perform Query/Retrieve, etc.

SR Could it stand for 'stereoradiography' or 'stereographic radiography'?

stereoradiography
The method of taking radiographs from two slightly different positions so as to obtain a stereoscopic effect.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stereoradiography

Objectives: To calculate and compare the doses of ionizing radiation delivered to the organs by computed tomography (CT) and stereoradiography (SR) during measurements of lower limb torsion and anteversion.
