Digital Image Communication in Medicine (DICOM) defines a standard method to store and transmit digital medical image information, in which there is a piece of implemented protocol named DICOM-RT that specially addresses both the transmission of radiation therapy image data and the ancillary data. In this paper, we firstly introduce the DICOM-RT with the emphases on its components, relationship with radiotherapy and how to produce the DICOM-RT object that refer to some certain radiotherapy information. Then we expatiate on the impact that benefits from applying DICOM-RT to radiotherapy, with an aid to accelerate its application in China.
