C.36.2.1.4.1.3 Radiobiological Dose Effect Sequence
The Radiobiological Dose Effect Sequence (3010,0001) specifies whether a code value of (Gy,UCUM,"Gray") in the Measurement Units Code Sequence (0040,08EA) in the Dosimetric Objective Parameter Sequence (3010,0070) denotes physical or effective dose.
C.36.2.1.5 Radiobiological Dose Effect Description Macro
The Radiobiological Dose Effect Description Macro describes whether dose values are provided as physical dose or effective dose. An effective dose value incorporates adjustments to dose by taking into account the radiobiological effects.
