Treatment Planning - Ion Plan Content
Summary
Defines the data required to be transferred, accepted and displayed for modulated ion therapy treatment plans produced by a Treatment Planning System (TPS) and consumed by a Treatment Management System (TMS).
Benefits
The profile removes incompatibilities or inconsistencies in plan interpretation from one system to another. Given the critical nature of the data being sent to the treatment management system (TMS), these inconsistencies needed to be removed by explicitly defining one method of describing plan content for ion therapy treatment modes.
The profile also demands that the user can display the original plan content on the receiving system and thus allow the user to compare the original data to the receiving system’s internal, working version of the plan. This can serve as an auditing tool if information doesn’t match up after a data transfer. This profile facilitates this by specifying the mandatory, minimally available data for comparison of plans. This allows the user to see the original plan content so that it is readable not just in DICOM format
