Whether the Dosimetric Objective is intended to be evaluated over a lifetime scope or only in respect to the current prescriptions.
Enumerated Values:
- CURRENT
-
The Dosimetric Objective applies to the referencing prescriptions.
- LIFETIME
-
The Dosimetric Objective applies to the referencing prescriptions and accumulated lifetime dose.
See Section C.36.6.1.7.

C.36.6.1.7 Dosimetric Objective Evaluation Scope
For Dosimetric Objectives that include a dose value, the value defines the total dose for all fractions of all prescriptions referencing this Dosimetric Objective, and potentially dose from previous treatment, depending on the value of Dosimetric Objective Evaluation Scope (3010,0063).
If Dosimetric Objective Evaluation Scope (3010,0063) has a value of LIFETIME, information from prior treatments shall be included in the evaluation of the Dosimetric Objective.
For example, if an organ has received dose in a prior treatment, and Dosimetric Objective Evaluation Scope (3010,0063) is marked as LIFETIME, then the previously delivered dose shall be included in the evaluation of this objective. Information about prior treatments may be described in Prior Treatment Dose Description (3010,0061) or by Instances referenced by the Prior Treatment Reference Sequence (3010,0062) in RT Prescription Sequence (3010,006B).
If Dosimetric Objective Evaluation Scope (3010,0063) has a value of CURRENT, the objective includes only those prescriptions which reference the same Dosimetric Objective, even if information of a prior treatment is available.
