Table A.20.3-1. RT Plan IOD Modules

Note

The Audio Module (Retired) was previously included in this IOD but has been retired. See PS3.3-2004.

The RT Fraction Scheme Module is structured to be used together with the RT Beams Module or RT Brachy Application Setups Module. If beams are referenced in the RT Fraction Scheme Module, all such beams shall be included in the RT Beams Module if it is present. Similarly, if brachy application setups are referenced in the RT Fraction Scheme Module, all such setups shall be included in the RT Brachy Application Setups Module if it is present. However, the RT Fraction Scheme Module can be used without the RT Beams Module or RT Brachy Application Setups Module if no beams or brachy application setups are referenced, and the RT Beams Module or RT Brachy Application Setups Module can also be used without the RT Fraction Scheme Module if no fraction scheme information is available.

The RT Prescription Module provides for the inclusion of dose prescription information pertinent to the complete plan, which may comprise several fraction schemes, themselves consisting of many beams.

The RT Tolerance Tables Module provides information concerning machine tolerances as they apply to the whole treatment plan. Tolerances are applied by reference to a tolerance table within the RT Tolerance Tables Module for beams contained within the RT Beams Module.

The RT Patient Setup Module provides information concerning Patient setup parameters and fixation devices as they apply to the whole treatment plan. Patient setup information within the RT Patient Setup Module is referenced by beams contained within the RT Beams Module.
