A simple application (CT) that allows you to view the RDSR in which the radiation exposure dose is recorded.

RDSR（Radiation Dose Structured Report）

For medical devices that use radiation, the exposure dose is recorded according to standardized standards such as CTDIvol for CT devices. In recent years, legislation regarding radiation dose management is being developed in medical facilities. It seems that we are making steady progress toward the realization of cohort studies to collect large-scale medical exposure data that could not be collected so far and investigate the effects on the human body. Medical exposure records related to imaging tests are mainly managed as DICOM data. Specifically, it is managed as an object called RDSR in the DICOM data standard. RDSR is a radiation exposure structured report.

RDSR viewer for CT

RDSR is created by various radiological medical devices, but this time I would like to handle RDSR for CT equipment. In RDSR, information objects are organized by a lot of metadata, so when you want to check the exposure dose, it is quite difficult to check the DICOM tag directly. So I tried to develop a simple tool. The tools introduced here have the functions of displaying the information recorded in the RDSR, outputting CTDIvol / DLP in csv, and displaying it in a graph for each CT examination.
