These reports record radiation dose in three forms: The dose-related information provided by an exposing device (e.g., CT) as reported by the device. The dose-related information about a radiopharmaceutical administration, as reported by the administering system. The patient or organ absorbed dose based on exposure information, patient characteristics, and patient model. The DICOM PS3.3 2017e A.35.8 X-Ray Radiation Dose SR IOD has a higher adoption level for use with CT than for other x-ray modalities. To survey DICOM implementations, an internet search for the relevant SOP Class UID and the phrase “DICOM Conformance Statement” will typically return links to specific products. SOP Class UIDs can be found by searching for the SOP Class name (e.g., Radiation Dose) in Annex A of DICOM Part 6. For example, implementations of X-ray, Radiopharmaceutical and Patient Dose can be found with the following searches, respectively: 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.67 "dicom conformance statement" 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.68 "dicom conformance statement" 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.75 "dicom conformance statement" REM PixelMed DoseUtility test tool uses Gazelle EVS Client Application on the front end.

Kevin O’Donnell, Canon Medical Research USA Format of Radiation Exposure Dose Reports for Exchange and Distribution Recommend 1st row (X-ray) adoption be increased to 4 for CT, 2 for other x-ray modalities Recommend 2nd row (Radiopharmaceutical) imp. maturity is pilot and adoption decreased to 1 Recommend 3rd row (Patient Dose) imp. maturity is pilot and adoption decreased to 0 Suggest IOD references in column 2 point to the module tables (subsection *.3) instead of the IOD (subsection *.1) to take people closer to the specification details in the first click. To survey implementations, an internet search for the relevant SOP Class UID and the phrase “DICOM Conformance Statement” will typically return links to specific products. SOP Class UIDs can be found by searching for the SOP Class name (e.g. Radiation Dose) in Annex A of DICOM Part 6: http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part06/chapter_A.html For example implementations of X-ray, Radiopharmaceutical and Patient Dose can be found with the following searches, respectively: 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.67 "dicom conformance statement" 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.68 "dicom conformance statement" 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.75 "dicom conformance statement"
