Jump to search
Radiotherapy Treatment WorkFlow (TRWF) integrates daily imaging with radiation therapy treatments using workflow.
Summary
Two Workflows are described by this profile:
- Discrete Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves positioning a patient and subsequent treatment delivery performed by separate devices.
- Integrated Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves positioning a patient and subsequent treatment delivery both performed by a single device.
Benefits
- interoperability between multi-vendor radiotherapy systems
Details
Discrete Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves:
- The Patient Positioning System (PPS)
- acquires a set of 2D (planar projection) or 3D (CT) positioning images
- performs a registration with previously retrieved reference images
- repositions the patient if necessary
- The Treatment Delivery Device (TDD)
- delivers the intended treatment to the already correctly positioned patient
Integrated Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves:
- The Positioning and Delivery System (PDS)
- acquires a set of 2D (planar projection) or 3D (CT) positioning images
- performs a registration with previously retrieved reference images
- repositions the patient if necessary
- delivers the intended treatment
Systems Affected
- Radiation Oncology PACS
- Treatment Planning Systems
