C.36.2.1.1.1 Radiation Fraction Pattern Macro Attribute Descriptions
C.36.2.1.1.1.1 Fraction Pattern
The Radiation Fraction Pattern describes the intended scheme, i.e., how fractions are to be distributed along calendar days for the actual radiation set.
Examples of Fraction Patterns:
1.1 fraction per day (Monday to Friday) , no fractions on Saturday and Sunday, 1 week-pattern: Number of Fraction Pattern Digits Per Day (300A,0079) = 1
Repeat Fraction Cycle Length (300A,007A) = 1
Fraction Pattern (300A,007B) = 1111100
2.2 fractions per day (Monday to Friday) , no fractions on Saturday and Sunday 1 week-pattern: Number of Fraction Pattern Digits Per Day (300A,0079) = 2
Repeat Fraction Cycle Length (300A,007A) = 1
Fraction Pattern (300A,007B) = 11111111110000
3.1 fraction per day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) , no fractions on Saturday and Sunday 1 week-pattern: Number of Fraction Pattern Digits Per Day (300A,0079) = 1
Repeat Fraction Cycle Length (300A,007A) = 1
Fraction Pattern (300A,007B) = 1010100
4.2 fractions per day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) , one fraction on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon 1 week-pattern: Number of Fraction Pattern Digits Per Day (300A,0079) = 2
Repeat Fraction Cycle Length (300A,007A) = 1
Fraction Pattern (300A,007B) = 11001100111001 5.1 fraction per day every other day 2 week-pattern:
Number of Fraction Pattern Digits Per Day (300A,0079) = 1
Repeat Fraction Cycle Length (300A,007A) = 2
Fraction Pattern (300A,007B) = 10101010101010
C.36.2.1.1.1.2 Intended Start Day of Week
TheIntendedStartDayofWeek(3010,0086)specifiestheday(s)oftheweek,whenthefirstfractionofthetreatmentshouldbedelivered. If more than one day is specified, one of the days may be selected to start the treatment.
The treatment then continues as specified in Fraction Pattern (300A,007B), irrespective of when the actual delivery starts.
