UUUU.4.11.2 Use Case 2

Local medical physicist creates one calibration factor applicable to all dose indices and all acquisition conditions. The CONTAINER (122505, DCM, "Calibration") is included once with values defined by the user. Making the factor applicable to all dose indices and all acquisition protocols is encoded by leaving the two corresponding Concept Items out of the Container.
