Treatment Planning Plan Content- Brachy
Summary
Standardize implementation of key DICOM objects to provide a common understanding of the standard. Define expected RT Structure Set, RT Plan and Ultrasound content for brachytherapy treatments for the following types of treatment:
High Dose Rate (HDR) Afterloading
Pulse Dose Rate (HDR) Afterloading
Low dose rate (LDR) Permanent Implants
Low Dose Rate (LDR) Temporary Implants
Benefits
Resolves differing interpretations of the Brachytherapy RTPlan object that have caused interoperability issues.
Standardizes RT Structure Set content between contouring systems and Brachy planning systems.
Creates a common way to amend an Ultrasound image so that they can be used interoperably for treatment planning.
