Option B: Full Standalone Mode
Note: This option is not supported from PTS release 12.0.
The treatment plan data is created using a Treatment Planning System (TPS). For eye
treatment, this must be an eye Treatment Planning System (TPS) such as the
Eclipse Ocular Proton Planning application (from Varian
®
).
Subsequently, and this is the meaning of ‘Full’ standalone, the user manually
encodes the patient, plan, and beam data into the PTS: definition of the plan;
baselining in PTS is performed using adaPTprescribe.
All subsequent activities, i.e., patient and plan selection, selection of the beam,
preparation and treatment of the patient, creation of the irradiation record, and local
storage of that record in the PTS software database are performed using
adaPTdeliver.
Option C: Using the OIS
This workflow option can be used for the SS, DS, US, and PBS treatment modes.
The treatment plan is created using the Treatment Planning System (TPS) and then
communicated to the OIS.
The plan is stored in the OIS.
Patient and plan selection, selection of the beam, and preparation and treatment of
the patient is performed using adaPTdeliver.
The session record is created by adaPTdeliver and then communicated to the OIS for
storage.
Patient Related Parameters
Patient related parameters within the PTS allow for the configuration of an entire
course of treatment for a particular patient. This section gives a brief description of
the different types of parameters associated with a patient:
 Prescribed parameters
 Received parameters
 Delivered parameters
Prescribed Parameters
Prescribed parameters are a selected set of values needed by the PTS equipment
to deliver an irradiation and are prescribed by the Radiation Oncologist.
