What is a Radiation Dose Structured Report?

A Radiation Dose Structured Report (RDSR) is a standardized DICOM document (SOP Class UID: 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.67) that records all dose-relevant parts of an X-ray or fluoroscopy examination in a machine-readable format. It contains patient information, device data, and a detailed record of each individual irradiation event (fluoroscopy phases and X-ray acquisitions) with the associated dose values.

The goal of this analysis is to compare the total dose of multiple examinations of the same type, identify optimization potential, and reveal statistically significant deviations. All dose values are shown in clinically familiar units (DAP in cGy·cm², entrance dose in mGy).

Meaning of ...

DAPDose Area Product (Gy·m²) — product of dose and irradiated area
AK / Dose (RP)Reference point dose — entrance skin dose at isocenter distance
FluoroscopyReal-time imaging during fluoroscopy
Acquisition(s)Single X-ray exposure and serial acquisitions

Note: The RDSR Analyzer reads the dose event-relevant data from the DICOM SR file to display it graphically and in tabular form. The DICOM SR file contains significantly more information, which is not considered here. Do you want to view the contents of all DICOM tags in the RDSR file? Then simply load the file in the DICOM TAG Viewer. Since a DICOM SR file does not contain pixel data, no preview image will be displayed, but the contents of all tags will be read and shown.
