UUUU.4.9 Integrated vs. Non-Integrated Radiography Equipment

UUUU.4.9 Integrated vs. Non-Integrated Radiography Equipment (Current)
Prev	UUUU.4 Radiation Dose Structured Report Encoding Guidelines	Next

The Traditional X-Ray Dose Structured Report (RDSR) is designed to accommodate radiographic imaging systems with varying levels of integration between the X-Ray source, X-Ray detector, and mechanical components. The integration level is specified using the coded concept (122142, DCM, "Acquisition Device Type"), which determines the required sub templates. If this value is not provided, the RDSR includes details for the entire system.

For radiographic equipment, there are two possible values:

(113958, DCM, "Integrated Projection Radiography System")
(113959, DCM, "Cassette-based Projection Radiography System"), which should be used for all non-integrated systems, not just those using cassettes

UUUU.4.9.1 Accumulated Dose Information Based on Acquisition Device Type

The Acquisition Device Type (from CID 10032 “Projection X-Ray Acquisition Device Type”) determines which Templates are required.
