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

This profile describes the accepted way to export external beam plans planned for a modulated ion therapy treatment delivery device. The goal of this profile is to be able to interoperate. An individual reading this profile should be able to identify the required elements of such an export for a specific type of plan.

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
