RTSTRUCT = Radiotherapy Structure Set RTPLAN = Radiotherapy Plan
RTRECORD = RT Treatment Record HC = Hard Copy
DX = Digital Radiography MG = Mammography
IO = Intra-oral Radiography PX = Panoramic X-Ray
GM = General Microscopy SM = Slide Microscopy
XC = External-camera Photography PR = Presentation State
AU = Audio ECG = Electrocardiography
- Standard -

Tomography
Retired Defined Terms for the Modality (0008,0060) are:
DS = Digital Subtraction Angiography CF = Cinefluorography
DF = Digital fluoroscopy VF = Videofluorography
AS = Angioscopy CS = Cystoscopy
EC = Echocardiography LP = Laparoscopy
FA = Fluorescein angiography CP = Culposcopy
DM = Digital microscopy FS = Fundoscopy
MA = Magnetic resonance angiography MS = Magnetic resonance
spectroscopy
CD = Color flow Doppler DD = Duplex Doppler
ST = Single-photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT)
OPR = Ophthalmic Refraction
Note:
1. The XA modality incorporates the retired modality DS.
2. The RF modality incorporates the retired modalities CF, DF, VF.
3. The modality listed in the Modality Data Element (0008,0060) may not match the name of the
IOD in which it appears. For example, a SOP instance from XA IOD may list the RF modality
when an RF implementation produces an XA object.
4. The MR modality incorporates the retired modalities MA and MS.
5. The US modality incorporates the retired modalities EC, CD, and DD.
6. The NM modality incorporates the retired modality ST.
