Stopping Irradiation
The normal end of an irradiation occurs when each layer is completed, i.e., when the
ICs have read the complete dose for each layer. (The ICs are reset to 0 between each
layer and loaded with a new target criteria). The PTS stops the irradiation and archives
irradiation parameters (referred to as received parameters).
When the beam is paused and you do not intend to resume the treatment, click Stop
Irradiation from the T
REATMENT SCREEN.
WARNING Press the hardware emergency stop button if the irradiation fails to halt
when the software PAUSE or STOP button is clicked or when the
hardware PAUSE button is pressed.
WARNING Emergency stop buttons shut off energy to most components in the
Proton Therapy System (PTS). However, the electrical power to some
components will not be interrupted, so be aware that electrical hazards
and faults (faulty parts made live or induced fire) may still be present.
