Definition

Subset of RT Radiations to be delivered and/or to have quality assurance procedures applied. One or more Items shall be included in this Sequence. All RT Radiation SOP Instances in the referenced RT Radiation Set shall either be in this Sequence or the Omitted Radiation Sequence (300A,0787). Correspondingly the sum of the number of Items in this Sequence and the number of Items in the Omitted Radiation Sequence (300A,0787) shall be the number of RT Radiation SOP Instances in the referenced RT Radiation Set. If a complete fraction (no continuation of a previously interrupted treatment) is to be delivered, the number of Items in the Sequence shall be the number of RT Radiation SOP Instances in the referenced RT Radiation Set. The Omitted Radiation Sequence (300A,0787) will not be present in this case. The number of RT Radiation SOP Instances in the referenced RT Radiation Set is the number of SOP Instances contained in the Referenced RT Radiation Sequence (300A,0630) of the Radiation Set SOP Instance referenced in the Referenced RT Radiation Set Sequence (300A,0702).

This attribute is part of the current DICOM Standard. Its value representation is SQ with multiplicity 1.

Used in 1 Module

This attribute uses the SQ Value Representation. Multiplicity 1 governs how many values may be encoded.

Integration Notes

Real-world integration guidance for engineers implementing this attribute in Mirth Connect, FHIR gateways, HL7 v2 bridges, and cloud DICOM services. Authoritative source data where available; reference examples and operational notes where they add value.

FHIR Mapping

No direct FHIR ImagingStudy mapping published for this attribute. Some tags map indirectly via the Patient, Endpoint, or ImagingSelection resources — Phase 2b will expand coverage to those.

HL7 v2 Equivalent

No standard HL7 v2 equivalent published for this attribute. Imaging-only attributes (Image Pixel data, technical acquisition parameters, modality-specific values) typically have no HL7 v2 carrier.

Cloud DICOM Support

AWS HealthImaging, Azure DICOM, and GCP Healthcare DICOM coverage rolls out by attribute. The QIDO-RS matching keys + Patient/Study/Series core (~50 attributes) are documented; lower-traffic attributes will be added as Saga teams encounter them in production.

Real-World Sample Values

No representative sample value available — this attribute isn't present in the de-identified pydicom fixture set. Add a fixture covering this attribute to expand coverage.

Mirth Connect Example

JavaScript transformer snippets for the most-queried tags will be added as coverage expands.

Common Operational Errors

Operational error patterns for the most-queried tags will be added as coverage expands.

DICOM Integration Services

Saga IT builds production DICOM integrations across Mirth Connect, FHIR gateways, and cloud imaging platforms. If you're working with RTRadiationTaskSequence or the broader (300A,0797) context:
