A.20.3.1 RT Fraction Scheme Module
The RT Fraction Scheme Module is structured to be used together with the RT Beams Module or RT Brachy Application Setups Module. If beams are referenced in the RT Fraction Scheme Module, all such beams shall be included in the RT Beams Module if it is present. Similarly, if brachy application setups are referenced in the RT Fraction Scheme Module, all such setups shall be included in the RT Brachy Application Setups Module if it is present. However, the RT Fraction Scheme Module can be used without the RT Beams Module or RT Brachy Application Setups Module if no beams or brachy application setups are referenced, and the RT Beams Module or RT Brachy Application Setups Module can also be used without the RT Fraction Scheme Module if no fraction scheme information is available.
A.20.3.2 RT Prescription Module
The RT Prescription Module provides for the inclusion of dose prescription information pertinent to the complete plan, which may comprise several fraction schemes, themselves consisting of many beams.
A.20.3.3 RT Tolerance Tables Module
The RT Tolerance Tables Module provides information concerning machine tolerances as they apply to the whole treatment plan. Tolerances are applied by reference to a tolerance table within the RT Tolerance Tables Module for beams contained within the RT Beams Module.
A.20.3.4 RT Patient Setup Module
The RT Patient Setup Module provides information concerning Patient setup parameters and fixation devices as they apply to the whole treatment plan. Patient setup information within the RT Patient Setup Module is referenced by beams contained within the RT Beams Module.
A.21 Positron Emission Tomography Image IOD
A.21.1 PET Image IOD Description
ThePositronEmissionTomography(PET)ImageInformationObjectDefinitionspecifiesanimagethathasbeencreatedbyaPositron Tomographimagingdevice,includingdedicatedPETcamerasandNuclearMedicineimagingdevicesoperatingincoincidencemode. This includes data created by external detection devices that create images of the distribution of administered radioactive materials, specifically positron emitters, in the body. Depending on the specific radiopharmaceuticals administered and the particular imaging procedure performed, problems involving changes in metabolism, function, or physiology can be investigated and various region pathologies can be studied. For these problems, quantitation of image data in absolute activity and physiological units is important. In addition, the PET Image IOD specifies attenuation (transmission) images used for correction and anatomical reference of emission images.

A.26 Digital X-Ray Image IOD
A.26.1 DX Image IOD Description
TheDigitalX-Ray(DX)ImageInformationObjectDefinitionspecifiesanimagethathasbeencreatedbyadigitalprojectionradiography imaging device.
Note
1.This includes but is not limited to: chest radiography, linear and multi-directional tomography, orthopantomography and skeletalradiography.Acquisitionofimagedatamayincludebutisnotlimitedto:CCD-basedsensors,stimulablephosphor imagingplates,amorphousselenium,scintillationbasedamorphoussiliconandsecondarycaptureoffilm-basedimages.
2.Specific IODs are defined for intra-oral radiography and mammography that further specialize the DX IOD.
A DX image shall consist of the result of a single X-Ray exposure, in order to ensure that the anatomical and orientation Attributes are meaningful for the image, permitting safe annotation, appropriate image processing and appropriate dissemination.
Note
1.Thisrequirementspecificallydeprecatesthecommonfilm/screenandComputedRadiographypracticeofmakingmultiple exposures on different areas of a cassette or plate by using lead occlusion between exposures. Such acquisitions could be separated and transformed into multiple DX images during an appropriate quality assurance step by an operator.
2.This requirement does not deprecate the acquisition of multiple paired structures during a single exposure, provided that they can be described by the relevant orientation Attributes. For example, an AP or PA projection of both hands side by side is typically obtained in a single exposure, and can be described by a Patient Orientation (0020,0020) of R\H or L\H since both hands are in the same traditional Anatomical Position. See Annex A “Explanation of Patient Ori- entation (Normative)” in PS3.17.
TheDXImageIODisusedintwoSOPClassesasdefinedinPS3.4StorageServiceClass,aSOPClassforstorageofimagesintended for presentation, and a SOP Class for storage of images intended for further processing before presentation. These are distinguished by their SOP Class UID and by the Enumerated Value of the mandatory Attribute in the DX Series Module, Presentation Intent Type (0008,0068).

Note
1.The Overlay Plane requirement is determined by the presence of "graphic annotation". Graphic annotation includes user or machine drawn graphics or text (such as computer assisted diagnosis) to indicate regions of interest or descrip- tions. It specifically does not include Patient or image identification or technique information that is defined in other At- tributes of the IOD.
2.The Device Module and Intervention Module are User optional, though it is desirable that, if present, they are stored by an SCP. It is recognized that in some cases the digital image acquisition system will not have a user interface or direct connection that allows acquisition of these parameters, even if device or therapy have been used.
3.The Common Frame of Reference Information Entity Modules, X-Ray Collimator Module, DX Positioning Module and X-Ray Tomography Acquisition Module are User optional, though it is desirable that, if present, they are stored by an SCP. It is recognized that in some cases the parameters of the mechanical devices used for collimation, positioning and tomography may not be available to a digital image acquisition system that is not integrated with the X-Ray gener- ation and positioning system.
4.The Image Histogram Module may contain a single or multiple statistical representations of the pixel data used to derive the VOI LUT Module, or intended to be used to derive or replace the VOI LUT Module. The Image Histogram Module may contain statistics of a subset of the stored image pixel data (such as from a cropped area or region of interest that is not the full field of view) that are useful for deriving a better VOI LUT than might be derived from the statistics obtained from the entire stored pixel data.
5.TheSpecimenIdentificationModulewaspreviouslyincludedinthisIODbuthasbeenretired,anditsfunctionalityreplaced by the Specimen Module. See PS3.3-2008.
6.The VOI LUT Module Attributes and behavior are further specialized in the DX Image Module.
7.The Curve Module (Retired) was previously included in this IOD but has been retired. See PS3.3-2004.
A.26.4 Overlay Plane Module
If the Overlay Plane Module is present, any Overlays defined in that Module shall store the overlay data in Overlay Data (60xx,3000), and not any unused high bits in Pixel Data (7FE0,0010).
A.26.5 Acquisition Context Module
TheAcquisitionContextModulemaybeusedtoencodeinformationaboutconditionspresentduringacquisitionthatarenotdescribed by specific Attributes in other Modules of the IOD.
The Baseline TID shall be TID 3460 “Projection Radiography Acquisition Context”.
A.27 Digital Mammography X-Ray Image IOD
A.27.1 Digital Mammography X-Ray Image IOD Description
The Digital Mammography X-Ray Image Information Object Definition specifies an image that has been created by a digital mammo- graphy projection radiography imaging device.
Note
It meets all of the requirements of the DX IOD in Section A.26 in addition to those specified in this section.
The Digital Mammography Image IOD is used in two SOP Classes as defined in PS3.4 Storage Service Class, a SOP Class for storageofimagesintendedforpresentation,andaSOPClassforstorageofimagesintendedforfurtherprocessingbeforepresentation. These are distinguished by their SOP Class UID and by the Enumerated Value of the mandatory Attribute in the DX Series Module, Presentation Intent Type (0008,0068).
