C.8.8.26.1 Specified and Delivered Meterset Values
Specified and Delivered Meterset values on beam and control point level shall be handled as specified for RT Beams Session records
in Section C.8.8.21.2.
C.8.8.26.2 Scan Spot Prescribed Indices
Scan Spot Prescribed Indices (300A,0391) are used to associate each delivered spot with its corresponding prescribed spot. If the ordering information is unknown, both Scan Spot Reordered (300A,0393) and Scan Spot Prescribed Indices (300A,0391) shall be absent.
There are various cases how the scan spots are delivered in comparison with the prescribed spot order.
Following are various examples specifying how the scan spot prescribed index shall be used.
C.8.8.26.2.1 Content of RT Ion Plan for following Use Cases
It is assumed that the RT Ion Plan contains the following spot positions in the Scan Spot Position Map (300A,0394) and related Scan Spot Meterset Weights (300A,0396).
The following table is a representation of the prescription where “w” represents the Scan Spot Meterset Weight.

The prescription does not contain an explicit index for the scan spot order. The index is defined implicitly by the order of the spots within the prescribed map. The implicit index starts at 0.
The following examples specify some different cases of delivered scan spot order that can then be supported using the spot index in the RT Ion Beams Treatment Record.
C.8.8.26.2.2 Treatment Recording Use Cases
The following tables contain 3 columns as follows:
First column: The delivered Scan Spot Position in the Scan Spot Position Map (300A,0394). In this column the spot positions are annotatedastheyhavebeendelivered.TheindexfollowingthecoordinatecharacterreferstotheindexintheRTIonPlan.Iftheindex is appended, it shows that 2 or more delivered scan spots refer to the same Scan Spot Position in the RT Ion Plan.
Second column: The Scan Spot Meterset Delivered (3008,0047). The Meterset Delivered is indicated by 'm'.
Thirdcolumn:TheScanSpotPrescribedIndices(300A,0391)referringtothepositionintheScanSpotMetersetWeights(300A,0396) of the referenced RT Ion Plan are indicated as they are recorded in the RT Ion Beams Treatment Record.
C.8.8.26.2.3 Use Case 1: No pause, no spot reordering, no spot splitting, no repainting
This use case is an example where the spots are treated in the exact order as prescribed in the RT Ion Plan.
