4 How to develop and read the Module and Macro tables The XML format shall conform to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1 .0 (Fifth Edition). A published XML from a manufacturer or a generated XML from a software system that follows this standard will start with set of elements described in the REPORT table (Table 1 3). The XML file content of interest to this document will begin and end with: <RT3report> </RT3report> The file will then contain a variable number of module entries selected from the tables of elements described below. Within several of the module tables, a call is made to include a macro to insert common elements used to describe an angle or an energy. How to understand and utilize these module and macro tables is described below. A report can be created for any physical radiation therapy device, a physical accessory or a virtual, software treatment machine model. Each XML file shall contain the mandatory REPORT module followed by any number of appropriate modules making up the manufacturer’s device or the software treatment machine model. When declaring multiple devices of the same kind, for example a set of wedges, each device (e.g. wedge) shall have its own module entry. They can share a single REPORT module if the data in the REPORT module is the same (same manufacturer, same room/machine). Each module starts with an ELEMENT in bold identified by the type ‘Module’. The opening and closing of the equipment module will be as follows in XML format: <wedge> <wedge ELEMENT entries> </wedge> The ELEMENTS in a list are indented by a > symbol and the list name is in bold; the XML format will expand out as follows for two reference documents in the REPORT module:When a fixed value for a parameter is needed but there are both min and max ELEMENTs required, define the max to have the same value as the min. Macros are commonly re-used blocks of ELEMENTs within modules. For example, the Energy macro is part of any module where the equipment or hardware has a limited purpose; an electron cone module would only list electron energies. If the Energy macro is not defined, it will be assumed that there is no energy constraint for the equipment defined by that module. A macro is called from within a module as follows; Include list of Energy macros Within a module, the XML format will be as follows: <energy> <all ELEMENTs from the Energy macro> </energy> <energy> <all ELEMENTs from the Energy macro> </energy> The description column includes not only a human-readable description of the information encoded in the ELEMENT, but also when appropriate: a) Enumerated terms (These are the only allowed text values for the ELEMENT.); b) Defined terms (A list of terms that shall be used for this ELEMENT, but that list can be extended.); and c) the units associated with the ELEMENT (e.g., MU/minute). The values in Table 2 are used in the type column of the module and macro tables to indicate the type of data associated with the ELEMENT.AAMI RT3 pdf download.
