##### C.36.2.2.4 RT Treatment Position Macro

The RT Treatment Position Macro establishes a connection between the patients geometry and the treatment delivery equipment to define the treatment position. When used in an RT Radiation object, this treatment position is the prescribed position. When used in an RT Radiation Record object, this treatment position is the record of the actual position.
