This includes the definition of all beam parameters (including Machine, energies, SSD, beam anatomical names, Couch, wedge, bolus details, meters values, collimation, gantry start/ stop, block/ MLC, Cutout for electrons, accessories etc.) and should also include additional information, for example patient identification - barcodes that incorporates MR # and Date of Birth treatment setup photos, set up parameters, patient face photo, a screen shot of CT isocenter placement for reference etc.
Benefits
Standardizes the content which can be expected by the delivery device and will provide clear advice to implementers.
