Thanks. ...
Regarding the DLP - I've seen it written variously mGy-cm, mGy•cm and mGy.cm.
Becuase it's a product, my inclination is think that the second (with the dot used as in mathmetical publications to indicate multiplication) is correct but just not sure.
Anyone have a definitive answer & reference?
Thanks :) ...
I am working on a radiation oncology dictation and the MD is stating that a breast tumor is measuring s/l T2N0P(i)...I am familiar with the first part of this cancer staging (the T-N part) but can't seem to find any reference to the second portion. It really sounds like he is saying "P." I see it referenced as a lowercase p but can't figure it out for sure. He dictated the lowercase "i" being in parentheses too, but I can't find any reference for that either!

exactly the same on every report and you have put his ROS and PE in your abbreviation expander, but sometimes he will dictate something out of order. For example, the dictator still says the same exact things he always says, but sometimes instead of saying "EXTREMTIES: No clubbing, cyanosis or edema."
