>Referenced Radiation Dose Identification Index | (300A,060C) | 1C | Radiation Dose Identification Index value that links the Radiation Dose Identification defined by this Sequence Item to the corresponding Item in an RT Radiation Set Instance. Required if the Instance referenced in Referenced RT Radiation Set Sequence (300A,0702) contains a Radiation Dose Identification Sequence Item that corresponds to this Radiation Dose Identification Item.
>Radiation Dose Identification Label | (300A,0619) | 1 | User-defined label for the Radiation Dose Identification. See Section C.36.2.1.1.1.
>Conceptual Volume Sequence | (3010,0025) | 1 | Reference to a Conceptual Volume which received dose during treatment delivery. See Section C.36.21.1.1. Only a single Item shall be included in this Sequence.
>>Include Table 10.34-1, “Conceptual Volume Segmentation Reference And Combination Macro Attributes”
Radiation Dose Sequence | (300A,0617) | 1 | Describes dose contributed by referenced RT Radiation Record SOP instances. For every SOP instance referenced in Referenced RT Radiation Record Sequence (300A,0703) exactly one item shall be present in this Sequence.

This may be as defined in the RT Radiation Set for the RT Radiation or calculated for this RT Radiation Record Set. See Section C.36.11.1.1. Two or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.
>>>Cumulative Meterset | (300A,063C) | 1 | Cumulative Meterset where a dose value is delivered. See Section C.36.11.1.1.
>>>Radiation Dose Value | (300A,0625) | 1 | Dose value (in Gy) delivered at the corresponding Cumulative Meterset (300A,063C). See Section C.36.11.1.5.
>Measured Meterset to Dose Mapping Sequence | (300A,0772) | 1C | Measured dose values of this delivered radiation mapped to Meterset values. Required if Dose Mapping Sequence (300A,0620) is not present. May be present otherwise. One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence.

#### C.36.21.1 RT Dose Contribution Record Module Attribute Descriptions

##### C.36.21.1.1 Conceptual Volume Sequence

The Conceptual Volume Sequence (3010,0025) identifies a Conceptual Volume defining a volume for which dose has been recorded during treatments.

If the Conceptual Volume is associated with a segment, the segment is defined by the Referenced Segment Reference Index (3010,0020) in the Conceptual Volume Segmentation Reference and Combination Macro (see Section 10.34).

Alternatively, the Conceptual Volume might not be associated with a segment; for example, when dose recording is specified using a nominal dose to a volume and the tracking coefficients are approximated by Meterset values.

Typically, this Module references Conceptual Volumes which have been used in the RT Dose Contribution Module of the RT Radiation Set SOP Instance referenced by the Referenced RT Radiation Set Sequence (300A,0702).
