1. Proposed Workitem: Isocenter coordinates transfer to lasers

2. The Problem

Isocenter coordinates from the TumorLoc application & Philips Big Bore CT scanner are not automatically transferred to our Gammex lasers and need to be manually inserted.

3. Key Use Case

How it works now:

- The User marks an isocenter in the TumorLoc software application

- The User reads the isocenter co-ordinates on the screen

- The User mannually enters the isocenter co-ordinates into the laser control computer

- The User then manually moves the CT couch to the desired couch position.
Should be: Mark the isocenter, coordinates transfer automatically to the Gammex computer and to the couch controller, move couch by pressing release button.

4. Standards & Systems

5. Discussion

<Include additional discussion or consider a few details which might be useful for the detailed proposal>

<Why IHE would be a good venue to solve the problem and what you think IHE should do to solve it.>

<What might the IHE technical approach be? Existing Actors? New Transactions? Additional Profiles?>

<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>

 ==3. Key Use Case==
-How it works: We mark an isocenter on the TumorLoc software, and then manually enter the X and Y coordinate into the laser’s computer, then move the couch to the desired couch position.
