Note

DICOM specifies that a given Series shall contain objects of only one Modality, and shall be created by a single device (described in the General Equipment Module). However, in general there may be many Series defined for a given modality/device pair. Note that a radiotherapy Series is generally created over an extended time interval (unlike in radiology, where all images in an image Series are generally created together).
