Importing a Patient Using DICOM
You can opt to import DICOM data on an existing patient using the DICOM interface.
To do so, click Import Patient.
Select the desired folder and DICOM file and click Open to import this data into
adaPTprescribe.
Figure 26-6. Patient Data File Selection
The imported patient data is added into the selection area.
Editing a Patient
The degree of patient data that can be edited depends on whether the patient is
internal or external, and whether or not the beams are baselined.
‘Internal’ means that the patient data did not get imported using the batch importer,
the Import Patient button, nor the OIS interface, or that it has been made internal
by a specific user action. Only beams that are not baselined can be edited.
 The patient is internal and none of the beams are baselined: you can edit all data.
 At least one beam is baselined: you can edit the comments for internal and
external patients.
For detailed information on the effect of patient editing, refer to section “Impact of
Editing Activities on an External Plan” on page 26-10.
In addition to editing patient data, you can also create a study (refer to section
“Creating a Study” on page 26-15).
