Radiotherapy Treatment WorkFlow (TRWF) integrates daily imaging with radiation therapy treatments using workflow.

Summary

Two Workflows are described by this profile:

Discrete Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves positioning a patient and subsequent treatment delivery performed by separate devices.
Integrated Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves positioning a patient and subsequent treatment delivery both performed by a single device.

Benefits

interoperability between multi-vendor radiotherapy systems

Details

Discrete Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves:

The Patient Positioning System (PPS)
- acquires a set of 2D (planar projection) or 3D (CT) positioning images
- performs a registration with previously retrieved reference images
- repositions the patient if necessary
The Treatment Delivery Device (TDD)
- delivers the intended treatment to the already correctly positioned patient

Integrated Positioning and Delivery Workflow involves:

The Positioning and Delivery System (PDS)
- acquires a set of 2D (planar projection) or 3D (CT) positioning images
- performs a registration with previously retrieved reference images
- repositions the patient if necessary
- delivers the intended treatment

Systems Affected

Radiation Oncology PACS
Treatment Planning Systems
Radiotherapy Treatment Delivery Systems
