RT Series Module¶

The RT Series Module is included from all DICOM RT IOD's Module Tables and is in that context a replacement to the usual "General Series Module".

This was done because RT objects significantly differ from normal diagnostic objects (like CT images in a CT series); also a series of RT objects can be completed over a longer time period (e. g. some weeks) while usual image series normally are acquired in one "short" run (e. g. CT scan). Only the most important, identifying Series data is taken over into that module to allow DICOM RT objects to integrate into DICOM services like Query/Retrieve. The only attributes being type 1 are Modality (can be RTIMAGE, RTDOSE, RTSTRUCT or RTPLAN) and Series Instance UID; the only type 2 attribute is Series Number.
