Treatment Planning Plan Content
Summary
This profile describes the RT Plan content exchanged between Treatment Planning Systems (TPS), Treatment Management Systems (TMS) or other TPS's. The purpose for this profile is to ensure accurate and automatic transfer of the planning information into the treatment management system for treatment delivery without ambiguity and human data entry or into another TPS for re-calculation or re-planning. This profile addresses a broad variety of treatment techniques that exist in Radiation Therapy. The Treatment Planning System is responsible to provide all Beam Parameters (including SRS cones, wedges, and other accessories) pertinent to the treatment technique applied for a specific plan. This information must be seamlessly transferred from the TPS to the TMS and from one TPS to another.
Benefits
Treatment parameters are not lost during transfer from the TPS system to the TMS and to the control system of the Linac.
Details
<A few paragraphs, if appropriate, providing more details (mostly in user-speak, not tech-speak) on what the profile does and how it works.>
<If the user might be familiar with the mechanisms used by the profile, you can mention them here. E.g. Evidence Documents is based on DICOM Structured Report (SR) Templates.>
<If the user might have an appreciation for the problems addressed in the profile, you can mention them here, but keep it short. E.g. Mapping HL7 Order fields to DICOM Modality Worklist attributes can be inconsistent in the marketplace, so Scheduled Workflow provides vendors with more detailed instructions.>
