hi SJ ,

i guess u should be writing to nema.org or Mr. David Clunie for details
about any new additions in DICOM.

good luck .

Rajesh Rapaka.

Protoon Therapy is not a diagnostic imaging modality.
Unless there are proton therapy devices that create data
that don't fit any of the existing set imaging modalities there
is no motivation to add a new defined term for modality.

Hi SJ

This is really a question for the DICOM Radiotherapy group; it is
not simply a matter of defined terms, it is a whole new SOP Class.
