C.8.8 Radiotherapy Modules
This Section describes Radiotherapy-specific Modules.
Modules defined here make reference to "IEC" coordinate systems and standards. These standards are defined in IEC Standard 61217, "Radiotherapy Equipment - Coordinates, Movements and Scales" (Reference CEI/IEC 61217: 1996).
Note
IEC document 62C/269/CDV "Amendment to IEC 61217: Radiotherapy Equipment - Coordinates, movements and scales" alsodefinesaPatient-BasedCoordinateSystem,andspecifiestherelationshipbetweentheDICOMPatient-BasedCoordinate System (see Section C.7.6.2.1.1) and the IEC PATIENT Coordinate System. Rotating the IEC PATIENT Coordinate System described in IEC 62C/269/CDV (1999) by 90 degrees counter-clockwise (in the negative direction) about the x-axis yields
the DICOM Patient-Based Coordinate System, i.e., (XDICOM, YDICOM, ZDICOM) = (XIEC, -ZIEC, YIEC). Refer to the latest IEC documentation for the current definition of the IEC PATIENT Coordinate System.
Many of the dosimetry concepts referred to in this document can be found in [ICRU Report 50].
