# GGGG Patient Radiation Dose Structured Report Document (Informative)

This Annex contains examples of the use of Patient Radiation Dose templates within Patient Radiation Dose Structured Report Documents.

## GGGG.1 Skin Dose Map Example

The following example shows the report of the skin dose map calculated from the dose delivered during an X-Ray interventional cardiology procedure.

The calculation uses a Radiation Dose SR provided by a Single Plane X-Ray Angiography equipment of the manufacturer "A". The Radiation Dose SR is created during one procedure step, corresponding to the coronary stenting of an adult male of 83 kg and 179 cm height.

The skin dose calculations are performed by an application on a separated workstation of the manufacturer "B", operated by the medical physicist, who is logged into the workstation at the time of the creation of the Patient Radiation Dose Structured Report document.

The dose calculation application generates a Patient Radiation Dose Structured Report document and a Secondary Capture Image containing an image of the dose distribution over the deployed skin of the patient model.

The dose calculation application uses the following settings and assumptions:

- RDSR Source Data:

  - All the Irradiation Event UIDs are used in the calculation of the skin dose map.

- Patient Model:

  - The patient model is a combination of two elliptic cylinders to represent the chest and neck of the patient.

  - The actual dimensions of the model are determined by the age, gender, height, and weight of the patient.

  - In this example the exact height and weight of the patient are used to create the model. The resulting elliptic cylinder for the chest of the model is 31 cm in the AP dimension and 74 cm in the lateral dimension.

  - The application creates internally a 3D voxelized model that is stored in a DICOM SOP Instance.

- Patient Model Registration:

  - The distance from the top of the patient's head to the head of the table (measured during the procedure) is known. The location of the patient head and table head are stored in a Spatial Fiducials SOP instance.

  - The application uses fiducials to register the patient model with the data of the source Radiation Dose SR.

  - A-priori knowledge of the distance from the table head to the system Isocenter at table zero position is calibrated offline.

  - The table tilt, cradle, and rotation angles are ignored because the description of the acquisition geometry is incomplete in the Radiation Dose SR. Only table translations relative to the Isocenter are considered in the calculations.

- Beam Attenuators:

  - A-priori knowledge of the model of the table and mattress (i.e., shape, dimensions, and absorption material) is calibrated offline, and it is referenced internally by the application. The model contains the same coordinate system as the one used in the equipment referenced in the Radiation Dose SR, so there is no need of another registration SOP instance.

  - The X-Ray filter information from the source Radiation Dose SR is used by the application. There is no other a-priori knowledge of the X-Ray filtration.
