Content Item Descriptions

Row 2

Reference to Radiation Dose SRs or Radiopharmaceutical Administration Dose SRs used in the dose estimation. At least one such SR shall be referenced.

Note

If an SR does not exist, one must be created from estimated data.

Row 3

Reference to Fiducial SOP Instance that is used to register the Frame of Reference of the Radiation Dose SR.

Row 4

Reference to Irradiation Event UIDs or Radiopharmaceutical Event UIDs used in the Radiation Dose Estimate Methodology. This shall not be present if all events in the SR are used.

Rows 8 and 9

Reference to an instance that contains the model used when determining the radiation transport and deposition of energy within a patient, e.g., Surface Segmentation, Mesh, Parametric Map, etc.

Row 10

Reference to the series of images that contains the model used when determining the radiation transport and deposition of energy within a patient,, e.g., CT, MRI, etc.

Row 11

Reference to Publication describing the model used. If proprietary, reference the manufacturer model and version of software used.

Rows 13-20

Provide the demographics used in the patient model to estimate dose. These are not necessarily the demographics of the actual patient.

Row 21

Contains the Spatial Registration from each Source Radiation Dose SR Frame of Reference to the patient model Frame of Reference.

The Frame of Reference of patient model is defined by the space of model coordinates. The Frame of Reference of the Source Radiation Dose SR is the Frame of Reference of the acquired patient images. If no Frame of Reference of the acquired patient images exists, fiducials can be used to define Frame of Reference in both the equipment space, i.e., Source Radiation Dose SR, and the Patient Model space and referenced in Row 5.

If RCS Registration Method Type is Visual Alignment, it is assumed any translation/rotation information from the visual alignment is added to other alignment translation/rotation information and saved as a single Spatial Registration SOP Instance.

Row 25

One Content Item per attenuator. This can be information about materials in the radiation beam that is used in the estimation method and that may or may not have been included in the Radiation Dose SR. If the beam Attenuator (e.g., filter) is included here and is also in the Radiation Dose SR it is assumed additional information relative to the beam Attenuator material, shape, size, location was needed and this information was not in the Radiation Dose SR or the Radiation Dose SR information is considered incorrect or incomplete.

Row 27

The estimation method may use an equivalent material rather than the actual material, e.g., a plastic table may be use equivalent aluminum attenuation.

Row 28

If the attenuator is not uniform, a thickness may still be provided and it is expected that Row 29 (Attenuator Description) will clarify how that thickness was determined.

The specified equivalent material is identified in Row 27.

Row 29

The attenuator characteristics may be described here. If the attenuator thickness was not provided in Row 28, the attenuator may still be described.

Row 30

Complex attenuators are best described by a model.

Rows 33 and 34

Reference to an Instance that contains the model e.g., Surface Segmentation, Mesh, Parametric Map, etc.

Row 35

Reference to the Series of Images that contains the model, e.g., CT, MRI, etc. This can be a Spatial Fiducials SOP Instance.

Row 36

Contains the Spatial Registration from each Source Radiation Dose SR Frame of Reference to the X-Ray attenuator model Frame of Reference.

The Frame of Reference of the X-Ray attenuator model is defined by the space of model coordinates. The Frame of Reference of the Source Radiation Dose SR is the Frame of Reference of the acquired patient images. If no Frame of Reference of the acquired patient images exists, fiducials can be used to define Frame of Reference in both the equipment space, i.e., Source Radiation Dose SR, and X-Ray attenuator model space and referenced in Row 30.

If RCS Registration Method Type is Visual Alignment it is assumed any translation/rotation information from the visual alignment is added to other alignment translation/rotation information and saved as a single Spatial Registration SOP Instance.

Row 32 and 43

Provide name of method, reference to a publication or the manufacturer model and version
