2nd Generation DICOM RT
Currently
 Static model clinical of process
 No versioning to support changes
 Difficult to add new treatment
technologies.
 new DICOM objects are optional
and outside RT
 e.g. volume/surface segmentation,
multi-frame images
 Large and complex RT Plan IOD:
 No differentiation between
prescription and treatment device
parameters.
 No workflow elements
 Need for improved safety
 Tighter Definitions
Proposed/Planned
 More granular objects
 “Time” (dynamic objects)
 Modalities:
 independent vs specific IOD
 Extensible
 Anatomical Segmentation
 Explicit Integrated geometries
 Conceptual Volumes - Dynamic
 Worklist and ‘electronic ID’
 More mandatory elements
 Building Blocks: Macros
