Dose Report in DICOM SR Format

This DICOM service allows exporting patient radiation dose details in the Structured Report DICOM standard format. Typically, one dose report is created at the end of each procedure step performed on the system. This dose report collects together all the irradiation events from the procedure step and cumulates all dose values for the procedure step as a whole. By exporting patient radiation dose in a comprehensive, very detailed and standard format, DICOM Structured Report allows to perform precise dose monitoring and analysis on the PACS or with a dedicated dose management system. This assists institutions to ensure their policies, procedures and protocols are adequate and being followed appropriately in the department. Moreover, it can help determining how changes in techniques and protocols impact radiation dose as well as image quality, to maintain patient doses As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
